RE: [Aria-users] direct movement issues

["Timothy Black" <XXXXXXXX>]

I have the latest version or ARCOS from your website. Can I change the limit
for the range of numbers it'll accept for a move command in ARCOS?

Can I set the velocity of the robot and check what distance I have travelled
and then stop when that distance is reached? Is there a call for checking
distance and doing an routine when that condition is met?

Cheers,

Tim

I think this is simply a limitation of the robot firmware. What version of
ARCOS 
  do you have? I'll check whether or not this behavior is to be expected
(and why).
