; TRAPPER - 12/16/98 -  Tests the config options, specifically for
;                       mines and shields.
;
; NOTE- This robot is extremely anal-retentive and non-sportsman-like.
;
; This robot raises its shield, drops all its mines, and then just
; waits to see what happens. It's intended only for one-on-one
; battles (against Rammer in particular), since it has no means of
; survival in the long-term, and will eventually die whether the
; mines have killed everyone or not. One TRAPPER can single-handedly
; take out 3 or 4 RAMMERs fairly effectively using the old shield
; system. With the current shielding system, it can take out a single
; rammer under most circumstances.

#msg Come closer...

; First, let's get the toys we want:

#config shield=5    ; Heat-resistant shield (less than 3 and we don't get it)
#config mines=5     ; '5' gives us 24 mines

; These configs were costly (10 points), we must
; reduce other devices below:
;       Config        Description                                    Default
#config armor=2     ; Normal armor. Maybe we live a while...           [2]
#config weapon=0    ; Wimpy missiles.. Gives us 2 points.              [2]
#config engine=0    ; We'll be at half speed, but who cares. 2 points. [2]
#config scanner=0   ; We don't care about scanning range.    5 points. [5]
#config heatsinks=0 ; Good heatsinks. Got a point.                     [1]

; On to the battle!
