Robot Class

Go through the Robot class and the functions in the C++ quiz section and try to understand the role of each one of them. After reviewing the robot class, print “I am ready for coding the MCL!” in the main function.

While scrolling through the C++ code, you'll notice some statements and functions commented out. These statements and functions are part of the matplotlib python library and are later used to graph and visualize the results. After you finish coding the MCL algorithm, you'll be asked to interface with this function on the Workspace and generate images to visualize the process of the MCL algorithm.
