You create an object of class Initialization and assign it to the constant
Init. The only methods which are called is Initialization#initialize, called
from Initialize.new. Since you haven't defined it, Object#initialize is used
instead and it does nothing.

I guess what you want is to also create an instance of RoboEngine, after
creating the Initialization object:

Init = Initialization.new
robo = RoboEngine.new

I hope this helps
