Why is it that the ellipse does not respond correctly to user input?
I want the a-s-d-w to control Player1 and the arrow keys to control Player2.

Class Robot

//imports
...

public class Robot extends JComponent{

public Color color = null;
public int direction = 360;
public int xPos = 100;
public int yPos = 100;
public int xVel = 10;
public int yVel = 10;

Robot(){

}

public int getXpos(){
    return xPos;
}

public void setXpos(int x){
    this.xPos = x;
}

public int getYpos(){
    return yPos;
}

public void setYpos(int y){
    this.yPos = y;
}

// Same thing for getXvel, setXvel, getYvel, and setYvel

public void move(){
    switch(this.direction){

    case 0: 
        this.yPos -= this.yVel;
        break;

    case 90:
        this.xPos+= this.xVel;
        break;

    case 180:
        this.yPos += this.xVel;
        break;

    case 270:
        this.xPos -= this.xVel;
        break;

    default:
        System.out.println("hi");
        break;

    }
}

Class Player1 and Player2

public class Player1 extends Robot{

xPos = 300;
yPos = 300;
xVel = 10;
yVel = 10;
direction = 0;
Color = Color.WHITE;
}

public void paintComponent(Graphics g){ 
    Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;

            Ellipse2D.Double ball = new Ellipse2D.Double(xPos, yPos, 100, 100);
    g2.setPaint(Color);
    g2.draw(ball);
    g2.fill(ball);


    }       
}

// Class Player2 is the same exact copy. The xPos = 500; yPos = 500; xVel = 10; yVel = 10;

Class KeyController

    // Player 1 Down

    if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_S){
        player1.setDirection(180);

        player2.setDirection(270);
