Flipped or not flipped

Hi,

How is mounted the camera ? Is it flipped ? I can see that globals.py contains "flipped = True" by default.

Thanks

MonsterBorg camera

The camera is mounted such that the image needs to be flipped by default. If you changed the value to False the robot would probably decide it has been flipped over and start driving backwards :)

You can see the full MonsterBorg build instructions here.

Flipped or not flipped

Hi,

So if we would create real condition in simulator, we need to start with a flipped image checking the flip checkbox OR overriding Settings with a flipped = False

Is it true ?

The simulator matches the robot

No, the simulator already matches the robot, it returns images which are flipped already.

The flip checkbox is intended to test what happens when the robot itself is flipped over. It changes more than just the camera :)
