You can have a look on the sample.Interactive robot available in
Robocode. You could copy this robot in order to create your own version.

Then, in the very end of the onKeyPressed(KeyEvent e) you insert these
lines:

char c = e.getKeyChar();
if (c == 'u') {
setTurnRadarLeft(180);
} else if (c == 'i') {
setTurnRadarRight(180);
}

Voila!

Best regards,

Thanks for the TIP.

I don't understand that its a bug or i did something wrong that

i implemented your code and when i pressed U it radar moves.But
as i deleted this code to check that U button is disable or not.

It shows me button U is not disable.

The button is still working.

I run cachecleaner in robocode even than it shows me that button U is
working when i pressed U.

Deleting roborumble/temp... done.
Deleting robots/.robotcache... done.
Deleting robots/robot.database... done.
Creating roborumble/temp... done.
Rebuilding robot database... Building robot database.
done.

Also when i check CacheCleaner.java there i found not is use the
following import
import robocode.control.RobocodeEngine;

Whats wrong there or its a bug ?
