/** @example simpleConnect.cpp example showing how to connect to the robot with ArRobotConnector
 *
 * One of the simplest ARIA programs possible:
 * Connects with ArRobotConnector, waits 3 seconds doing
 * nothing, then exits.
 *
 * This program will work either with the MobileSim simulator or on a real
 * robot's onboard computer.  (Or use -remoteHost to connect to a wireless
 * ethernet-serial bridge.)
