  The output stream your robot should use to print.

  You can view the print-outs by clicking the button for your robot in the right side of the battle window.

         public void onHitRobot(HitRobotEvent e) {
             out.println("I hit a robot!  My energy: " + getEnergy() + " his energy: " + e.getEnergy());
         }
