/**
 * A Droid is an interface used on a {@link TeamRobot} to create a specialized team robot,
 * i.e. a droid robot. A droid has 20 extra life/energy, but comes with the cost that a
 * droid has no scanner! This means that a droid is 100% dependent on other
 * team members to perform the scanning on their behalf and communicate the location of target
 * enemies.
 * 
 * A team of droids plus at least one non-droid team robot can have a crucial edge over another
 * team without droids (and the same number of robots) due to the additional 20 energy points.
