thanks for poviding this source. So on to the discussion... ;-)

I did not compile or test it but looked in to the source. What you 
provide is a SimControlNode called TrainControl. There is one 
TrainControl registered for each internal agent instance. The agent 
itself is registered as one behavior instance to each TrainControl instance.

Is that the basic structure? It seems ok so far.

The problems I see are hardcoded dependencies to the soccer simulation: 
For example the TrainControl sets up a 'robot part map' and provides 
functions to drop the ball etc. The behavior class implements functions 
to parse sensors that are typically installed in the soccer bot.

I think we should remove any dependency to the soccer simulation from 
the TrainControl and Basebehavior class and provide a derived soccer 
SoccerBehavior class in the soccer bundle as a basis for agent implementors.

cheers,
Markus
