MechRC Commander makes creating motion files for your robot a piece of cake. The process of creating an action sequence

in the motion editor is much like that of creating a stop motion animation with clay models. Each pose frame in the film

strip represents a position that the robot must move to. The transition bars between each frame specify the time it takes for

the robot to move from the previous frame to the next. By stringing together a number of these frames, complex motions

can be sequenced. Motions are edited under the Motion tab in the main program window, the layout of which is shown

below:
