Constructor Detail

TeamRobot

public TeamRobot()

Method Detail

isTeammate

public boolean isTeammate(String name)

Checks if a given robot name is one of your teammates.

Example

   public void onScannedRobot(ScannedRobotEvent e)
   {
       if (isTeammate(e.getName())
           return;
       else
           fire(1);
   }
 

Parameters:

name - The name to check

getTeammates

public String[] getTeammates()

Returns an array of your teammates names

   public void run()
   {
       String[] teammates = getTeammates();
       for (int i = 0; i < teammates.length; i++)
           System.out.println(teammates[i]);
   }
 

Returns:

String array containing teammate names

broadcastMessage

public void broadcastMessage(Serializable message)
                      throws IOException

Broadcasts a message to all teammates
