# SIM\_wheelbot
---
SIM\_wheelbot is a simulation of a two-wheeled electric vehicle that follows a set of waypoints.

### Building the Simulation
In the SIM\_wheelbot directory, type **trick-CP** to build the simulation executable. When it's complete, you should see:
```
=== Simulation make complete ===
```
Now **cd** into models/Graphics/ and type **make**. This builds the display client for the simulation.
### Running the Simulation
In the SIM_wheelbot directory:
```
% S_main_*.exe RUN_test/input.py
```
