If there's only one robot left it calculates where they're moving and when the fire a bullet and dodges and shoots. I haven't come up with something good for multirobot battles yet. Duekiller Posted at 10:01 pm on Dec. 23, 2004 Ahh yeaha I remember that man that program is crazy. I remember one of my friends built this robot that all it did is avoid bullets and fire and it was able to fire at robots that were moving and hit them (by calculating movments). Its a good learning experience. All 2 previous replies displayed.
