Bot Transition- 2.37.6 to 2.43

[abyaly]

To get to the very top of the leagues, you usually need to invent some brand spanking new strategy that's never been seen before.  It's hard to be the best just by using the more traditional methods.

For example, suppose you made a bot that works as a community to hide all the veggies in the corner of the arena, in an attempt to starve out the other bot.  Or if you made a bot that slowly builds a gigantic multibot web that makes it impossible for the other bot to effectively kill (since you'd be using sharenrg).  Or maybe something like Light's Helios, back before it was nerfed (or rather, the program was unnerfed, but same thing).  It used the max number of ties so you couldn't tie feed from it.

All these sorts of ideas require a great deal of programming acuity, and a great deal of imagination.  But that's about the only way you can get to the top anymore.  Hence why most of my "recent" bots haven't been strong contendors.

That sounds like a challenge.

Yes, it is a challenge.
Here's latest build, not much change.
