Interface RobotTask

public interface RobotTask

This class defines the common interface for all robot task objects. It defines two methods. A concrete robot task class should define the task() method to create and initialize the desired robot(s) and command them to behave. Also, the concrete task class should define getRobot() to return the robot that is used in the task.

A RobotTask can be executed from the command-line using RunRobotTask.
