#Abstract class for a behavior.  On every time step, the behavior is passed the
#inputs from all sensors it is bound to as well as any recursive inputs that it
#spawned during the last time step.  Inheriting classes MUST define
#processResponse.  processResponse should return a list of dictionaries which
#define the properties of the light response.  They must give a location and
#color.  They may define a function pointer which defines a custom mapping.
#[More on this later.  Bug Russell if you want to do it].
#recursiveResponse to queue a input on the next iteration with a dictionary
#argument.  This will be passed in via recursive inputs.
