Introduction
There are currently 4 robots in the robotrainer family:
- RoboTrainer CLASSIC
- The very first version of the robotrainer. Uses a motor from an ‘Ellert’ at about 1 kW power.
- RoboTrainer LIGHT
- Uses a Brushless DC motor produced for the rear wheel of an electric bicycle. It is rated for 36V and 250W, but currently uses only 24V. The maximal force output in this configuration is around 300 N, and a top speed of 1.6 m/s.
- RoboTrainer ONE
- A more powerful version of the RoboTrainer Light. 48V and 1kW motor with a much higher resolution of position encoder. Top speed around 2 m/s
- RoboTrainer GRAVITY
- Has been implemented into a pre-existing motor from a company that makes hospital lifts and has a lift capacity around 200 kg because of high internal gearing. This means that the top speed is only around 0.15 m/s.

ROS: use IP address instead of hostname
The "ProjektNet" network does not allow use of hostnames, which means roslaunch must be run with IP addresses instead. This can be a bit cumbersome, but this guide should show how to set this up.
