This tutorial provides instructions on how to create a Blender file for a robot prepared with a defined number of components, which can later be inserted into scenario files.
Warning
The preferred way of creating equipped robots is now using the Builder API. See the documentation on how to use it.
Launch MORSE by typing morse, and erase all objects in the file:
Save the file with a name that represents the settings of the robot. As an example this document will use the Ressac helicopter, so the name of the file should be something like: $MORSE_ROOT/share/morse/data/robots/myrobot_equiped.blend
Next link in the base of the robot from the component library:
The rest of the components (sensors and actuators) should be linked similarly. Refer to the tutorial about creating a scene in Blender for instructions. In the case of a robot file, no middlewares or modifiers should be added, since those would be specific to every particular scenario.
Adjust the properties of the component if necessary. Then save the file again, by pressing Ctrl-w, followed by enter.
This robot file should be liked into scenarii files by following the same procedure, while selecting all the objects contained in the file.
