roboboat_customizing_tutorial

Overview

The purpose of this tutorial sequence is to demonstrate how to modify one of the provided Roboboat reference models.

Creating your custom workspace

Create a workspace to store your brand new model named my_roboboat.

mkdir -p ~/gazebo_maritime/models/my_roboboat && cd ~/gazebo_maritime/models/my_roboboat

Each model must have a model.config file in the model's root directory that contains meta information about the model. Create a model.config file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<model>
  <name>my_roboboat</name>
  <version>1.0</version>
  <sdf version="1.6">model.sdf</sdf>
