customizing_wamv_beginner_tutorial

Overview

The purpose of this tutorial sequence is to demonstrate how to create a custom WAM-V thruster and component configuration. This involves writing a user-generated thruster YAML file and a user-generated component YAML file, and then running a script that will generate a custom WAM-V URDF file with the specified thrusters and components. This WAM-V URDF file can then be passed in as a parameter to the VRX simulation launch files.

All tutorials in this sequence assume you have already built and sourced the VRX workspace as described in the installation_tutorial tutorial.
