Hey Jason,

robtest is really just a front end for the robotict test utility for 
specific robots.... i.e. tldtest, tl8test, acstest, etc.

You could echo commands directly to the test utility.  As an example, for
a robot TLD on /dev/sg/c0t0l0, you can move tapes from inport slot 1 to
slot 20 in the lib by doing the following:

# echo "m i1 s20" | tldtest -r /dev/sg/c0t0l0

You can replace the "m i1 s20" for basically any command you can use in 
robtest.... You can figure out the scripting part of it to fit your needs.

HTH
