 *   Revision 1.4  2008/04/17 14:54:44  martius
 *   randomGen added, which is a random generator with long period and an
 *    internal state. Each Agent has an instance and passed it to the controller
 *    and the wiring. This is good for
 *   a) repeatability on agent basis,
 *   b) parallel execution as done in ode_robots

 *   Revision 1.3  2007/06/14 13:57:08  martius
 *   initial waiting time (no control before that)
 *
 *   Revision 1.2  2007/06/08 15:46:54  martius
 *   support different static networks (e.g. satellite nets)
 *
 *   Revision 1.1  2006/11/29 16:21:35  martius
 *   controller that uses a fixed feed forward neural network with some history
