I'm not sure you can use def in a gene, I'd sugest having those before the first gene.
Also if you wan't to save energy you can have a robage = 0 gene where you set the eyes and such. (Ofcourse it's safer to set them every cycle if you're up against an oponent that might mess with those settings)
But I think the issue may be that current doesn't exist, so you're never changing the focus eye. (If you select a bot you'll see the focus eye is the one with the red edge)
Also a tip, eyef is like eye5 but for the focus eye, it's a good idea to check that the focus eye contains something before turning.
And you should be aware that view distance isn't huge, and looking at the closest object isn't the same as looking at the most dangerous one. You may often be swithing between the 2 closest alies while an enemy is aproaching and firing. Not saying it can't be effective, but you may want a way to make sure the same eyes aren't checked repeatedly when allies are near.
You're welcome to steal anything you like from this thing (Or maybe switch to this behavior when you keep seing alies) :

The first 2 genes are for initializing the eyes, the next 2 are 2 different ways of using the eyes, one turns to the next non empty eye, while the other one just changes the focus eye. (Those 2 genes are hard to read, I can post a broken down version, but it'll still be kinda hard to read it) But the point is that you don't need to understand them to use them, you just change the defined values at the beginning of the code.
After that the remaining genes are just a test bot to show how you can use the eye genes.
You can also change the overall eye setup if you like, but be aware that the turning gene won't work without the current eye setup (You can change the width and distance between the eyes by using the defined values, but not scramble it any way you like), however the focus eye switching gene should work no matter how you set the eyes.
