Control More Than One Robot

Movement Panel

We're now going to add a Movement Panel which will control all of the robots at the same time. The Movement Panel that we will use is a Custom Movement Panel, which allows custom EZ-Script to be added. Each Auto Position will be instructed to execute movement actions using the ControlCommand().
