Descriptions

Rotates a robot's gun counter-clockwise the amount specified by degrees. Negative values cause clockwise rotation. When additive rotation is enabled, the rotation rate of a robot's gun is ±10 degrees per turn relative to the robot's body. When additive rotation is disabled, the gun's rotation rate is ±10 degrees per turn relative to the ground. See the robot attributes topic for more information about rotation rates.

After calling the gunleft command, you can determine the amount of rotation remaining using the _gunrmn system variable. When any component of a robot is rotating, the _rotating system variable is true. Gunleft generally requires multiple turns to complete and therefore causing blocking.
