Changes

So eventually you join the forums and to your surprise (or not) find out that most people here are better builders than you. Their bots look amazingly powerful and they have all these new types of showcases of themselves going against robots that you have never seen. Eventually you either find and install the same pack that they have and are either obliterated by the immense destructiveness of the AI itself or you get the guts to actually make a showcase of your own and get your bots critiqued on what can be done to make it better (mostly dealing with empty space). On rare cases you may take up quickly to the difficulty of the AI pack and simply build better bots from there, but this tutorial isn't needed for those types now is it? So what now?

One thing to remember is that a good bot builder knows his building skill level. To determine what bulding skill level you have can be confusing, but one good way to know is by simply trying out different AI packs and seeing if you can win AT LEAST 3-5 tournaments of the pack. It does sound like a had thing to do, but this is what bot building skill is all about. Please look at the outline of what packs should be tried out to get a general idea of where you stand (not limited to new packs, this is just an example):
