+'''
+This is an example builder script that sets up a rover in Morse to
+be driven by ArduPilot.
+
+The rover has the basic set of sensors that ArduPilot needs
+
+To start the simulation use this:
+
+  morse run rover.py
+
+Then connect with ArduPilot like this:
+
+  sim_vehicle.py --model morse --console --map
+
+This model assumes you will setup a skid-steering rover with left throttle on
+channel 1 and right throttle on channel 2, which means you need to set:
+
+  SERVO1_FUNCTION 73
+  SERVO3_FUNCTION 74
