-Bots can store energy as [[Body]] points with the .strbody command. It converts 10 energy points into 1 body point. To retreive energy back from body, bots can use the .fdbody command. However there is a limit of 100 energy points per cycle that can be retrived from body points.

 Both strbody and fdbody (as with most other commands) take values in terms of change in energy.  That is, how much energy to store, and how much energy to retrieve.
