Okay, I've released a new version of Robot (1.0.1.1), that should fix
this bug. Niklas: can you try it out please?

Also, it turns out taking a screenshot is much easier than I thought.
A single call to getImage returns a list of bytes, which happens to
match exactly the internal structure used by JuicyPixels. I'll look
deeper into this when I get the time.
