Bug fix:
· Bug-358: Robot in default package cannot write to files. Should at least get a warning.

New Features:

· The Border Sentry robot is dedicated to Liam Noonan from Limerick Institute of Technology and Robocode Ireland in general. :-)
· The inspiration for this type of robot comes from the TV series named Robot Wars.

· have 400 additional energy points meaning that a border sentry robot starts with 500 energy points!
· only appear at the borders of the battlefield, when a new round is started defined by the "border sentry size", which is a game rules that can be adjusted similar to other game ...
