Click the preview below to enable the 3D WebGL viewer. When the 3D viewer has loaded, the world frame axes will be displayed: X-Y-Z are red, green, and blue, respectively. Regarding orientation, we will measure angles in degrees and with respect to the X-axis (theta, θ = 0°). This means that a robot looking towards the windows of the lab next to the arena will have θ = 90°.
