Hi .. I have the following robot:

define roomba_cam position
(
  size [0.33 0.33 0.1]

  # this block approximates the circular shape of a Roomba
  block( 
    points 16
    point[0] [ 0.225 0.000 ]
    point[1] [ 0.208 0.086 ]
    point[2] [ 0.159 0.159 ]
    point[3] [ 0.086 0.208 ]
    point[4] [ 0.000 0.225 ]

    point[15] [ 0.208 -0.086 ]
    z [0 0.1]

      localization_origin [0 0 0 0]

  camera 
  ( 

    origin [0 0 -0.11 0]

    # laser properties 
    resolution [ 1280 720 ] 
    range [ 0.2 9.0 ] 
    fov [ 70.0 40.0 ] 
    pantilt [ 0.0 0.0 ]

    size [ 0.1 0.07 0.05 ] 
    color "black" 
    watts 100.0 # TODO find watts for sony pan-tilt camera 
  ) 
)

I put the camera underneath the robot because I want to place it at the top of the simulation and I need the camera to be facing down, but it is facing forward. Can anyone help me how to do it to turn it down?

The description of the camera sensor definition can be found here, to clear this up for you. No idea why there is a laser commend above it, but that's a different story.

The pan tilt parameter is the one you're it defines the azimuth and elevations angles in degrees. so if you set it as shown below it should tilt your camera down by 90 degrees.

pantilt [ 0.0 -90.0 ]

Hope this helps.
