Hornet (autonomous stalker weapon)

An autonomous drone that will automatically follow and attack any Bot with a powerful laser. If you spawn multiple copies they may attack each-other.

If you want to be able to spawn multiple copies that wont attack each-other, change the target to "Drone". But if you do that you can no longet stay in the seat because it will attempt to target you as well.

The drone AI can:

• Rotate itself to face the closest Bot.
  
• Move in the direction of the closes Bot.
  
• Shoot only when the target is lined up.
  
• Stay at a reasonable distance of the target Bot.
  
• Perform evasive maneuvers to avoid incoming attacks.
  
• Avoid collision with terrain and large objects.
  
• Work both with and without gravity.
  
• Work underwater (but very slowly).

The drone AI cannot:

• Avoid collisions with small obstacles (like trees).
  
• Avoid collisions at very high speed.
  
• Detect if the target Bot is hidden behind cover (it will shoot at the cover).
  
• Find an exit if stuck in a corner and the target is in the direction of that corner.
  
• Work properly after a too violent crash.
