Olivier,

I am using the Windows evaluation version of Webots and passing the reset
string in the Java function emitter_send( ).  I tried replacing the
judo_reset_supervisor.exe file in the
Webots/controllers/judo_reset_supervisior/ directory but it did not reset
the Judoka1 robot correctly when I executed the emitter_send( ) function.  I
also tried creating a /controllers/judo_reset_supervisor/ directory in the
directory where I have my test robots running.
