Commands a robot to attack a unit, dealing the robot's standard amount of damage. Healers cannot attack, and should use `heal()` instead. NoSuchUnit - the unit does not exist (inside the vision range). TeamNotAllowed - the unit is not on the current player's team. InappropriateUnitType - the unit is not a robot, or is a healer. UnitNotOnMap - the unit or target is not on the map. OutOfRange - th

(&mut self, robot_id: UnitID, target_id: UnitID)

    /// * OutOfRange - the target location is not in range.
    /// * Overheated - the unit is not ready to attack.
