MRDS Samples

The MRDS Samples site hosts a variety of code samples for Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio (RDS).

The purpose of this site is to provide sample code to assist in learning RDS. Placing code here under a Microsoft Public License allows the RDS community to contribute and also provides a way to release code samples without having to wait for the next product release cycle.

NOTE: Please review the Read Me page before you download this package.
