Student Name: Mr. Pelletier
Robot Name: Dragoon

My Robot's Strategy: 

Movement: Dragoon roughly skirts around the edges
of the map, and swings it's cannon in a 180 arc in front of 
it.  If it gets near a wall, it tries to back up quickly
and change it's direction by roughly 90 degress so as to
not waste much time avoiding walls.  Sometimes it still
hits a wall because the cannon isn't always pointing directly
in front of the robot to prevent collisions, but this is
rare.

Offense: If it detects a robot when the cannon is cool (< 20), 
it will shoot at any range, but usually these miss.  
If the cannon is hotter, it will only take closer range shots
that are more likely to hit.  This way it doesn't needlessly
overheat the cannon.  It never fires while loading or
while the cannon is overheated, so as to avoid the firing
penalty.

Defense: Dragoon's main defense is just to keep moving at
a fairly fast speed.  It is slow enough that it can stop
in time and avoid collisions with other robots, but fast
enough that it can dodge a lot of bullets.

Weakness: Dragoon's main weakness is that because it's
cannon sweeps a big arc, it takes a lot of random shots
rather than saving up for one big accurate burst like
Ghost or Seige Tank do.  This sometimes costs it the game.  

VS. Seige Tank
------------------------------
Wins: 2
Losses: 1
Total Damage by Me: 600
Total Damage by Opponent: 352 

Evaluation: Dragoon did well against seige tank, but it lost
the first match.  The fact that seige tank saves up it's shots
for a burst of 5 rounds is dangerous to Dragoon if it happens
to drive close by just when the burst is ready to fire.
Otherwise it seems to be able to dodge most of Seige Tanks
shots and swoop in for some hits.

Improvement: I wonder if eliminating the long, random shots
that rarely seem to hit would help?

VS. Ghost
---------------------------
Wins: 2
Losses: 1
Total Damage by Me: 566
Total Damage by Opponent: 600

Evaluation: Ghost beat me, but not by much.  Each time I 
lost, it was very close.  The fact that Ghost hides in the
corner makes it difficult to hit, because the two walls
seem to shelter it from the long-range attacks.  Also,
when I swoop in, since ghost is in the corner, Dragoon
is often doing his wall-avoiding code rather than
fighting, which makes for akward fighting sometimes.

Improvements: I am going to add some firing code in
my wall-avoiding function to make sure Dragoon will
still fire even while avoiding walls.

Evaluation: This is my own robot, so it makes no sense
for me to fill this out.
