Introduction to Software

XYZrobot Editor

The XYZrobot Editor is the designed software included with your Bolide Y-01 robot package. The 
software is compatible with both Windows and Mac OS operating systems. The XYZrobot Editor 
allows you to create a wide variety of standard and unique poses for your Bolide Y-01, which 
are easily edited and stored for use at any time. The software will also allow you to create action 
sequences by combining the created pose list in any number of combinations.
