Smartzones

Smartzones are used by AI bots for detecting when an opponent is within the AI's attack zone. Characteristically, they are invisible, intangible, and lightweight.

Basically, when a smartzone overlaps with an opponent (being intangible), the game detects it, and the smartzone-bearing bot can get a signal from it's AI. Mostly used for Pokers/Hammers/Popups/Flippers who fire their piston/burst motor when the enemy is in the smartzone, but also, more rarely, for Whippers or more complex bots.
