_pingheading


Value Type

numeric  [0-359]

Description

When a robot is detected by another robot's radar scan, the _pingheading variable is set to the direction of the incoming radar scan. Values range from 0 to 359 inclusive. This variable corresponds to the heading of the scanning robot's radar when it called the scan command.  The scanning robot's direction  of movement has no affect on _pingheading.

When a robot is pinged, it can also obtain a bearing to the point where the ping intersected. The _pingbearing variable provides this information.
