This page describe how to add a robot project from another IDE into Robocode.

Adding your Robot Project to Robocode

Start up Robocode and select Preferences from the Options menu, select the Development Options tab, and then type in the path to your robots project.

Shows the Development Options pane in the Preferences dialog, which let's the user type or browse to the /robots folder from a project from another IDE
