Testing Strategy:

-Loading Config Files: This will include the map of the cave system only. Caves will be marked with a single
	character, indicating which cavern they belong to. Walkways will be marked with a different character, and 
	the walls will be indicated with another character. Tests for this include making sure the given map adheres
	all proper regulations and throws up a flag if it doesn't: it is a rectangle, file is valid, and there's at 
	least one cavern. This should also load the cavern, so different cells will be tested to see if they are 
	pathways, caverns (and their associated string), and walls. Number of caverns will be tested. 

-Find Route: This is the method that is called on a robot, for it to explore for a route for a given cavern. This method
	will use a recursive algorithm to fully explore walkways, and when it comes to a cavern which isn't in it's route
	list, it will add the route to its set of routes. Tests for this will include a straight path to a cavern, a split 
	path with the other leading to the wrong cavern checked first, a cavern only accessible through another cavern, and
	a cavern that has no possible route (which is somehow indicated). The most direct route should be obtained (or at
	least somewhat direct), so the number of steps in the route will also be checked.

-Repeat Route: This is the method that is called on a robot before it attempts to find a route for a given cavern. If it has 
	the route to a given cavern, or the robot directly behind it has the route, it will take the route to the cavern. This 
	will be tested by the robot having the route, the robot behind it having the route, the robot 2 behind it having the 
	route, and no robots having the route.

-Invert Route: This is a method within the route class that will invert a route automatically, so a robot can trace their 
	steps back to the entrance. Tests for this will make sure that number of steps remains the same, and that certain
	points chosen at random in the route remain the same.

-Cycle Robots: This is a method within the mine class that will cycle through the current robots. This is a helper method that will
	be called whenever repeat route is called, and will be tested by finding the current robot after a number of robot 
	find route, repeat route, and invert route methods. 

Development Strategy:

Part 1:

-Loading Configuration Files: Maze created.
-Maze setup files: Robot array list created, maze linked with mine class.
-Robot route finding algorithm: Routes found for first time.
-Robot follow route/share route methods: Already found routes being shared and followed.

Part 2:

-GUI Maze: Draw the maze and robots.
-GUI Buttons: Interface for user to tell robots where to go.
-GUI Animation: Show a robot moving through the maze. Some of this might be moved into part 1, as it is closely linked with the
	route finding algorithm.
-GUI FileMenu: Pop up window that shows discovered routes.
