Reference frames in Robotmaster allow coordinate systems to be specified for several different components. Some important frames include:

Base frame: Coordinate system at the base of the robot. Stationary point on which other frames are based.

Tool frame or TCP: defines position and orientation of the tip of the tool, relative to J6.
