+Bot

+
+General behaviour
+-----------------
+
+### Goals
+
+Pathfinding
+-----------
+
+### Goals
+
+-   Plan A - Grid based
+
+-   Plan B - Waypoints based
+    -   Cached waypoint links
+
+-   A\* based
+
+-   Cached nodes _(applies to both plans)_
+    -   This means that most of map discovery or waypoint creation will be done offline
+
+Navigation
+----------
+
+### Goals
+
+-   Steering behaviour
+
+-   Swimming
+    -   Support getting out of water
+    -   Float in the same place if until a path is found
+    -   Eventually support navigation under water as long as the pathfinder supports it too
+
+-   Able to get out of lava, acid, etc
+    -   Ideally it should request quickly a new path to the pathfinder, instead of improvising on the movement code
+
+-   Never, ever, get stuck in the same place. Wander around if there nothing better to do.
+
+-   Able to rocket-jump _(as a last resource measure, when they're thrown into space void)_
+
+-   Plan A - Waypoint based
+    -   Avoid path congestion _(this happens when more than one bot on the same team are traveling over the same path)_
+
+-   Filter insanely quick movements (aka shaking)
