public abstract class Button
extends Trigger

This class provides an easy way to link commands to OI inputs. It is very easy to link a button to a command. For instance, you could link the trigger button of a joystick to a "score" command. This class represents a subclass of Trigger that is specifically aimed at buttons on an operator interface as a common use case of the more generalized Trigger objects. This is a simple wrapper around Trigger with the method names renamed to fit the Button object use.
