Reset environment in the Python code?

[criddle858]

Is there a way to reset the environment (robot, all objects, etc.) in the Python code? I know you can reset manually. I want to reset the environment and run code in a loop (for ML).

Sorry for taking so long. Been busy lately.

It wasn't possible before, but I've added it in. Use it like this...

from simPython import System

sys = System()

while True:
    motorD = LargeMotor(OUTPUT_D) # Arm
    motorE = LargeMotor(OUTPUT_E) # Paintball Launcher

    motorD.on_for_degrees(5, 43)
    motorE.on_for_degrees(100, (-1000))
    motorE.on_for_degrees(100, 1)
    time.sleep(3)
    sys.reset_simulator()
    time.sleep(1)

Few things to note...

• You need to create a new instance of every sensor / actuator after reset. This is because the reset destroys the original motors and sensors, making the original instances invalid.
• There's a short sleep after the reset. This is because sys.reset_simulator() may return before the reset is complete.

If you can share how you are using Gears for ML, that would be appreciated. Always keen to see new ways of using Gears.
