Sure, I learned Qt with C++ and only recently switched to Python for the dev productivity.  Glad my background is useful.  😊

Have you considered using a QListView instead of a QListWidget?  I believe that allows you to save your robot objects, etc. in a plain data object, and then display them in the same list display as QListWidget.  I do believe QListWidget is much easier, though and wonder if the model/view architecture is worth the increased complexity for your case.  But in any case, I think that is how the folks at Qt provided for what you are trying to do.

 

Thanks,

David
