DESCRIPTION
       A swarm of wind-up toy robots wander around the table-top, bumping into
       each other. Each robot contains a mechanically accurate gear system
       inside, which you can see when the robot's shell occasionally fades to
       transparency.

OPTIONS
       --visual visual
               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the name of a
               visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
               visual.

       --window
               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.

       --root  Draw on the root window.

       --window-id number
               Draw on the specified window.

       --delay number
               Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default: 20000 (0.02
               seconds).

               Number of robots.  1 - 100.  Default: 25.

               Animation speed.  2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as
               fast.

       --size ratio
               Robot size.  2.0 means twice as big, 0.5 means half as big.

       --opacity ratio
               Robot skin transparency.  0.0 - 1.0.  Default: 1.0.

       --talk ratio
               How often to occasionally pop up a word bubble with random text
               in it.  0.0 means never. 1.0 means often.

       --texture | --no-texture
               Whether the robot's surface should be reflective chrome.

       --fade | --no-fade
               Whether to sometimes fade the robot's opacity to show the inner
               mechanism.
