HamsterAPI Class Documentation

Hamster class File Description All methods below belong to the namespace HamsterAPI:: and are a part of the Hamster class HamsterAPIClientCPP/Hamster.h The hamster class is the main interface to the Hamster robot.


Constructor: Hamster(const AgentID & agent_id, HamsterClientParameters params = HamsterClientParameters())

Method Name Constructor: Hamster(const AgentID & agent_id, HamsterClientParameters params = HamsterClientParameters())
Method Description

The client parameters contain the following:
