If you have a mycobot, connect myCobot and PC with USB-C cable. If you don't, please ignore this.

1. Download mycobot_artist_grasshopper.ghx and mycobot to any folder.
2. Start rhinoceros, grasshopper, and open mycobot_artist_grasshopper.ghx
3. Click 'Load' button, so you can see the model of mycobot.

If you have a mycobot, make mycobot component enable. So, the mycobot will move!
