NEAREST returns the angle of the nearest robot right? Maybe it could be restricted so that it only updates at the beginning of the round and when a robot dies....
Would you be opposed to supporting two different systems of angles, but only one system of x and y? This wouldn't be too tough ... I think the only operations...

Getting rid of doppler might work with nearest. By having the exact angle to your target you could computer an accurate shot without it in two chronons. I...

Cedric, I agree. With the quantum trap described in the Nature paper, we might be able to detect small-molecule binding. I still worry though that the...
