Creating Orders for Robo Rally PBEM

Your info sheet will contain a list of program cards, and some actions

Each program card and action will have a unique Code Letter assigned to it.
This code is an uppercase letter from A to Z

Actions are either Turn Programmed or Phase Programmed.

See the option descriptions to see which is which.
The Power Down action is Turn Programmed.

Here is the format of a set of turn orders:

Turn Programmed codes (optional)
The number 1 to indicate phase 1
Phase Programmed action code (optional)
Program card code (some phase programmed options require two Program card codes)
Then do steps bcd for phases 2,3,4,5

Place all codes in a single line

No spaces preferred, but if it will avoid mistakes, spaces are okay, but still keep all codes on one line

Here's a few examples of what your orders should look like:

1B2H3R4A5P	Simplest example (using no actions)
S1U2W3Q4G5J	Example with one turn programmed action
S 1U 2W 3Q 4G 5J	Same as above, but with spaces
TY1U2M3N4A5C	Example with two turn programmed actions
1E2T3KN4P5S	Example with one phase programmed action
FIU1RB2TRC3O4TQW5XV	Max example, with multiple Turn and Phase programmed actions

Normal rules apply.

You must include one program card in each phase.
You cannot use one program card more than once.
Locked cards must be included in the code line in the proper phase.
You may only use one phase programmed gadget in a single phase.
You may only use one phase programmed movement in a single phase.

The RCM is equipped with minimum quality assurance on your order string. It checks for apx. 1/10 of what it could. If it sees an error, you will be notified to fix. If it does not catch the error, then you get what you get during the turn.
