Alright guys, I got my hand on a really really cheap Motoman SK16 with its controller (basically lower than metal price) from an university. I am converting this welding robot to plasma cutting and routing later on. However, even after reading all the manuals, I still don't get how to program the robot with a PC without paying thousands to do it. I don't even need online programming, It will basically cut metal sheets and thats about it so offline programming should work...?
Need help programming jobs offline for an old MRC SK16

It's MRC from the mid 1990's. You can't even use MOTOSIM EG-VRC to program it offline. You would have to use MOTOSIM EG which supports the old vintage legacy controllers (ERC, MRC, XRC).
SK16 was a great robot in it's time. Good luck to you.

The problem is I can't seem to get Motosim EG VRc without paying lots of money
EG-VRC won’t work for you. You would need EG. That supports the older generations.
If you want to program moves offline, you need software. Software costs money. It might pop up on EBay every now and again. -
What is wrong with programming it with the pendant?

I wanted to upload 2D jobs for plasma cnc for customized shape cutting. I have no idea how I could manually program the robot to follow the exact shape..unless you know o.o
