gun_heading         #the heading of your gun, 0 pointing east, 90 pointing
                    #north, 180 pointing west, 270 pointing south
gun_heat            #your gun heat, if this is above 0 you can't shoot
heading             #your robots heading, 0 pointing east, 90 pointing north,
                    #180 pointing west, 270 pointing south
size                #your robots radius, if x <= size you hit the left wall
radar_heading       #the heading of your radar, 0 pointing east,
                    #90 pointing north, 180 pointing west, 270 pointing south
