public class RobotPlayer
extends Interval

The robot player is a computer player with truly rudimentary artificial intelligence that periodically posts random commands selected from the available key press and release commands to the target component. Note that Robot could have been used to post key events to the target component rather than commands, but not all key events can be simulated in that fashion (e.g., a right shift key press), and this seemed somehow more proper in any case.
