Description

I'm following the tutorial here to simulate a robot with RobotStudio. It's going fairly well until this step:

Before continuing in RobotStudio, you need to put the RAPID files of the ROS driver on the controller of the created arm.

    1. Go to <documents_directory>\RobotStudio\Systems and select the folder corresponding to the name of your station.

Well, \Systems is empty.

I haven't manually saved a system yet. I did save a "station" that I created with my robot, but it's in a different folder and I don't think that's what I need at this step. I suspect the wiki is just outdated and maybe I shouldn't even be using this package anymore.
