Welwordion:
The idea is easy, surround something you want tp protect with a swarm of low energy bots that lie in hibernation. The question is, how can a swarm of low energy bot fight most effectively when it has not necessarily to care for self preservation?

This minefields are my second approach for battery, gardener bots defensive mechnism to protect their veggie,
as my first concept of building a fortresslike multibot caused to much secondary problems and was too hard to realize.

Numsgil:
If you're going straight for attrition, your best bet is definately powering up your shots.  A bot powering up a -1 shot with all its energy (or 1/5 its energy every cycle, or something like that) is going to do some incredible damage.

If you're running in 2.4, you'll also want to keep body low so it's harder for the opposing bot to actually hit you.  You'll have to weigh this against the increase in power body gives you.

Venom and Poison might also have some neat tactics you could use.

A shot can be powered up over time / in advance?

Elite:
Use .shootval to power up shots:

*.nrg 5 div .shootval store
-6 .shoot store

^ Uses 1/5 of it's energy each cycle to power up a devastating -6 shot

PurpleYouko:
You can get extra range too. Just set shootval to a negative value.
