• LOCY
  • Returns the Y location in the battlefield
• SPEED
  • Returns the current speed of the robot
• DAMAGE
  • Returns the current damage of the robot
• DRIVE
  • Set the direction and speed of the robot
• SCAN
  • Scan the battlefield and returns the distance to a returned robot
• CANNON
  • Fires the cannon
• IN
  • Get data from another robot.
• OUT
  • Send data to another robot.
• TEAM
  • Turn teams on for this robot. Returns the team number.

Currently, there is no indication if the cannon has reloaded and is ready to fire.

Should there be a command to give the current status of the cannon?

• RELOAD
  • Returns 1 or 0 if the cannon can be fired
