PROCEDURE HotShot;

Author: David Malmberg
Strategy: Stay in one place. Find a foe. Take a shot.
Keep improving aim and shooting until foe is lost from sights.
Then move sights (scanning) to adjacent target area. If
hit, then move to another random position on playing field.
If the Robot scans two complete circles (720 degrees) without
finding a foe in shooting range, move to another spot on the
field. (This will avoid "stand-offs" where opponents stay
just out of range of one another.)
This Robot should be VERY effective against foes which
are stopped or are moving slowly. It will be less effective
against Robots traveling at high speeds.

maximum arc of plus or minus 10 degrees.
