Hackathon results (for those who are interested.)

Unfortunatly there was a bug. When our bot is dazed and we switch the direction of movement we are getting the current position of out bot from Player object localy named me but it was mistakenly called as a function, since the object itself is derived from GameState object using me() method. So during quarter finals our bot crashed.

Thank you for participating note
