There is some crucial information missing from this document, and the missing information is placed in an HTML file in your project folder.  It's titled "Robot Simulation Readme.html"

Please add in all the information below into the PDF.  It skips on all of the servos for the arm and camera are not even mentioned in the PDF.

Actuators on this simulated robot

1. Left Motor
   • Digital Module = Digital Module 1
   • PWM Channel = PWM 1
2. Right Motor
   • Digital Module = Digital Module 1
   • PWM Channel = PWM 2
3. Camera Servo
   • Digital Module = Digital Module 1
   • PWM Channel = PWM 5
   • Angular Range = 170
4. Arm Servo
   • Digital Module = Digital Module 1
   • PWM Channel = PWM 6
   • Angular Range = 170
5. Gripper Servo
   • Digital Module = Digital Module 1
   • PWM Channel = PWM 7
   • Angular Range = 170

Sensors on this simulated robot

1. Encoder on Right Motor
   • Digital Module = Digital Module 1
   • A Channel = DIO 3
   • B Channel = DIO 4
2. Encoder on Left Motor
   • Digital Module = Digital Module 1
   • A Channel = DIO 5
   • B Channel = DIO 6
3. Gyro
   • Analog Module = Analog Module 1
   • Analog Channel = AI 1
4. Ultrasonic
   • Ping Digital Module = Digital Module 1
   • Ping DIO Channel = DIO 1
   • Echo Digital Module = Digital Module 1
   • Echo DIO Channel = DIO 2
5. AXIS M1011 Camera

Is there any way to set the initial position of the robot when the simulator loads?

[netsirk]

Unfortunately, there is no way to set the initial position of the robot.

Also, please note the actuator and sensor data has changed for the 2015 season. The information communicated above is outdated.
