    Please do not hijack someone else's post.

    You created an array...
    Control robot[]=new Control [k];
    ...but have not instantiated the elements of the array.
    robot[index] = new Control();

    Do not continue to bump threads like this - despite what you think it could hurt your chances of receiving help. We aren't a 24hr service waiting at the edge or our seat for the next problem to come along, just a bunch of volunteers. Further, you did not follow my advice and post your updated code. That error message tell you exactly where the exception is being thrown - line 20. Go to your code and look at line 20. Add some System.out.println statements to see what is null, and work backwards to try and figure out if you ever instantiate the object.
