Trying to make a bot to play a simplified Brickbreakers game, but It wont pull variables correctly, (using java.awt.Robot)

Question

I have a Robot method declared in the gameplay class, I have declared the variables but It will not excecated the loop properly, I assume I mis stepped somewhere in the calling of the variables or method. I have it set to pull the X position of the ball and move towards that by using the robot class to press a key, which works just fine on the keyboard (i.e. I can press the keys specified and the paddle moves)

I tried to re declare the variables in the method, the coordinates of both the paddle and ball works, the game functions, but the robot method is not executing at all. I tried to create a new instance of the method in the main method, but nothing changes, I tried to use the "this." function instead of declaring a new object in the method, but it just throws errors. Sorry about the code, I am fairly new to Java, and I am more experienced with C# and unity as opposed to the terminal and stuff like this. Here is the Gameplay Class.

Here is the Main method

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws AWTException {

        JFrame obj=new JFrame();
        TestGameplay gamePlay = new TestGameplay();
        Robot robot



        obj.setBounds(10, 10, 700, 600);
        obj.setTitle("Breakout Ball");      
        obj.setResizable(false);
        obj.setVisible(true);
        obj.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        obj.add(gamePlay);
                obj.setVisible(true);



        
    }
}

There is the map generator class as well, but It it not relevant to this I think ** I pulled the base game from Git but had to tweak some settings
