in some applications it is not even possible to do this because the state
may represent
the actual state of a robot. deleting and creating a new motor control
object will
cause the robot to perform initialization functions, which is probably not
what you want
except at the startup of your application.
and even if you can restore the state of an object, this can cost a lot of
time if you are working
with database connection objects or such things.
