[Question] What is produced in the voxcraft-sim output.xml file?

• Looking at the .xml file created by voxcraft sim, there are fields <fitness> and <total_distance_of_all_voxels>. How are these calculated?

• other than parsing a .history file, is there any way to know a robot's quaternion, if i'm interested in its change of orientation?

I would grep -r the tag of interest.
Most of the work is done here:

In the history file there are angles (from init orientation) and positions recorded for each vox
