Don't seperate those two, since they work only together. Add more explanation to the describing text for this chapter. Exercise: Pick up your spawned object and try it with the other hand as well. If Placing does not work, provide a way to release the object from the gripper and maybe also despawning the object. Exercise: Pick up your spawned object and try it with the other hand as well.

 +Now for the Chapter 'Simple Plan' i think that the “after that you can copy-paste the following code into the file:” contains a way to long code for just copy and paste. The code is explained afterward, but it would be good to provide more of a learning effect here e.g. Writing the wrapper for the plan and then put something like ;;your code goes here for navigation, within the plan and the people have to add the actions they've learned from above sections. Or still copy and paste the code, but use it for your own object.
  
-Even though we have achieved the goal we had set, the entire process would have felt a little tedious, especially if you want to perform it multiple times, when you have made a mistake, etc. So let's bundle what we have done so far into a single method called, ''move-bottle'' which can easily be reused. To save your work so that the changes you make are still available even if you exit Emacs, we will save the code for it in a file.+

 First let's open the file which we will write into. Press ''Ctrl-x Ctrl-f'' to open the "Find file" dialog on the bottom of Emacs. The folder will be set to "~/<workspace>/src/cram/cram_tutorials/cram_pick_place_tutorial/" by default (This is because it is the path of the project we loaded). We have already saved a file called "pick-and-place.lisp" under the src folder of this project as a workspace for you. So open the file by completing the folder name as below and pressing Enter. First let's open the file which we will write into.

 The previous example worked perfectly because we knew and provided the exact coordinates to look for the bottle. This is hardly true for the real-life scenario, especially since we are dealing with a kitchen environment, which is far from being precise compared to a factory floor. What would happen if the bottle was moved a little bit to the right of its previous spawn position? For this, let's change the arguments to reflect this on our method, and let's see what happens. The previous example worked perfectly because we knew and provided the exact coordinates to look for the bottle.

 Everything is good so far, even though by design, let's call this a lucky coincidence. For the robot, knowing which arm to use to pick up the bottle is not always enough. There are many positions with which we can grasp objects - from the object's front, back, left, right, etc. So what decides the "side" (left, right, top, bottom) of the object? As you might have guessed, these are defined for objects according to the coordinate reference frame of each object. Every object spawned in the bullet world has its own coordinate axes - even rotationally symmetric objects like the bottle here. (Red:+ve x, Green: +ve y, Blue: +ve z axes)  Everything is good so far, even though by design, let's call this a lucky coincidence.
