Home positions for multi-robot cells

Reference document: https://robotmaster.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RMDOC/pages/10444800003/Multi-Robots+-+Cell+Editor+-+Home+Position?atl_f=content-tree

  1. Create a new home position in the Home position repository.

  2. Edit the new home position.

  3. Note that the single home position includes all robots in the cell, so a single home position dictates both robot home positions whether used in a single or multi-robot configuration.

  4. Edit the values as desired.

  5. Create 2 more home positions with different values, which will be referenced later in the walkthrough.

  5. Note that this does 3 things:

    1. Adds a second tooling mounting named Tooling mounting 2.

    2. Renames Tooling mounting to Tooling mounting 1.

    3. Greys out the “Add tooling mounting” button. This occurs if there are as many tooling mountings as there are robots in the cell.
