v6 v7 7 7 Quagents occupy a volume of space described by a bounding box. Their bounding box is always axis-aligned (that is, does not change facing or dimension even if the Quagent does). It is 30 units wide and long, and 60 units high. The "origin" of a Quagent is 24 units above the bottom of the box. As long as an area of the bottom of the bounding box is in contact with a surface, the Quagent is on the ground and will not fall. Otherwise, the Quagent is in freefall and is affected normally by gravity. 8 8 9 [[Image(box. png)]]9 [[Image(box.2.png)]] 10 10 11 11 At the lowest level, Quagents are much like remote control robots. They can move about their area, jump, rotate, and perform basic actions. They have a variety of sensors to gather data about their environment. Quagents look out at their environment. They have a heading (0 degrees is along the positive X axis, 90 is along the positive Y, and so on), inclination (90 is straight down, 0 is level, -90 is straight up), and roll (we fix roll at zero, however). Changes in heading are called "yaw". Changes in inclination are called "pitch".
