Hi @AndreasKuhner, do the OBJ meshes converted from the DAE ones not have any of the usual colors (e.g. black bracelet) present on Franka arms?

Hi @kevinzakka ,
I tried to just follow the instructions (aka opened the .dae files in Blender und exported them as .obj). The result was then a grayish looking robot in the viewer. So I peeked how it was done for the fr3v1.. where some colors manually were defined. Would I need to do some other step during the conversion of the .dae or some special checks/marks/...?

And, maybe also some confusion -> the v2 looks a lot more 'clean' aka white. So no black bracelets (or as much as before) :)

## Overview

This package contains a simplified robot description (MJCF) of the [Franka Research 3](https://franka.de/research) (aka FR3) developed by [Franka Robotics](https://franka.de/company) (formerly Franka Emika). It is derived from the [publicly available URDF description](https://github.com/frankaemika/franka_description).

I guess to reference which URDF we use here?

Hmm was this readme just copied from v1? What's the difference?

Yes, it is just a copy. Mostly visually the v2 is different from v1 (of course some internal changes here and there but nothing which is reflected by the URDFs).
