White Box Robotics PC-Bot 914 Quick Start Manual page 25

A position box should now be displayed on the player viewer. Your physical robot is now connected
to the virtual client-side display and it is shown to you as the centre of a grid.
Step 6: Open the 'Devices' menu again and scroll down to the 'position 2d:0' and choose "Enable"
Step 7: Open the 'Devices' menu a third time and scroll down to 'position 2d:0' and choose
"Command"
A "bulls-eye" appears in the middle of the grid. Using the left mouse button you can click and drag this
bullseye to the 'right' to move the robot 'forward'. If you drag it to the 'left' the robot will move
'backwards'. Similarly dragging it to the 'right' and 'up' will make it turn left and 'forward' and
'down', it will turn to the right.
Note: When you release the mouse button, the robot stops and the bulls-eye returns to the box.
Step 8: Position Mode: Open the 'Devices' menu and scroll down to 'Position2d:0' and choose
'Position mode'. Again with the left mouse button click and drag the bulls-eye. The physical robot
will spin and drive in a forward direction to achieve the goal position until you drop the bulls-eye. It
will stop when it gets close to the goal.
