Um....
No, not really.
Nothing wrong with the structure of it... but get_orders() is to get
orders for EVERY unit you control, not just a single one. I made a
couple of little changes:
(oh, and metrics[IDENTITY] is an int, you passed it to a sequence param)
include eubots.ew

--Initialise pos to be the size of the number of units it has left.
pos = {}
for x=1 to metrics[WIDTH] do -- HEIGHT
for y=1 to metrics[HEIGHT] do -- WIDTH
if arena[x][y] = metrics[IDENTITY] then
pos = append(pos, {x,y})
end if
end for
end for
return pos
end function
--get_orders function
function get_orders(sequence arena, sequence metrics)
sequence units
units = find_all_units(arena, metrics)
for a = 1 to length(units) do
units[a] = {units[a], MOVE, rand(8) } --transform the unit
into an order.
end for
return units
end function
eubot_init(routine_id("start"), routine_id("get_orders"),
routine_id("cleanup") )

Are you going to drop X number of my bots into the arena at random
locations?
Also, I'm guessing find_all_units() is my responsibility, or is that an
arena or eubots.e function?

Not random. For the tournament and final maps, they'll start in a
bunch, a good distance from any enemy units.

Yes, it's your responsibility, although how you find them is up to you.
I can see there's a bit of confusion regarding the role of the
program, is it per unit, or for all units, etc... I'll update the
website (wait 8 hours for changes, I'm at work now) to clarify
things...
