[lotsa bombing, ogging, and cloaking elided]

Cheese: If you cloak when you pick they don't know you picked.

In general I think the bombing and ogging are good things to teach
newbies.  I agree they do cloak too much.  One thing I wish they would
do more of is space control.  Another idea I like that I've heard is
to have them respond to RCD messages by teamates (SB ogg, Rc++, etc).

So far three people have show some interest to me in improving the
bots.  I have seen nothing to date.

If anybody has any plans to update them, grab the source from CVS and
state what your intentions are here.  There is a serious lack of
communication when it comes to what people are working on here.
