You can use the above bot with the following level file. Copy the robot code into a file called "orbitbot.bot" in your robots folder, then copy the following code into a file called "orbitbotdemo.level" in your levels file. The Robot line in the level file tells Bitfighter to load a robot called orbitbot.bot from the robots folder, and assign it to Team 1.
When you play the level, you should see a functional orbitbot!
