A robot consists of three individual parts:

• Body - Carries the gun with the radar on top. The body is used for moving the robot ahead and back, as well as turning left or right.
• Gun - Mounted on the body and is used for firing energy bullets. The gun can turn left or right.
• Radar - Mounted on the gun and is used to scan for other robots when moved. The radar can turn left or right. The radar generates onScannedRobot events when robots are detected.
