Re: FRCSIM Help

Alright I was able to get it working. I didn't realize that the new version requires me to manually load the world file using

frcsim worldfile.world

Once I did that and ran the GearsBot sample program I was able to get it working, though I had to fix up the joystick controls -the sample code didn't work with my Xbox controller.

One weird thing I noticed was that after I played around with the simulation for a couple minutes and tried out the Smart Dashboard simulator the robot seemed to drop down below the floor (see attachment). I can only see the top-most part of the robot, the rest is below the ground level?

Not sure if there is a defect in the model itself or something?
