Coming to think of it, you could probably do this in the Move method of your robot!
The location property of your robot contains the REAL Panel coordinates. When you Draw you shift these by adding half width and height so that 0,0 is in the middle of the Panel.
Now to show these in the position Label you have to substract half width and height. For the Y coordinate you also have to change sign!
The attached doc will make it clearer I hope.
Now for your border testing you could use both, it is up to you which you prefer. Succes.

Nope my stuff still isn't working, but I'm going to try to just work on getting something to at least validate if it goes over 100 and I'd be happy lol
