tool, flip the robot, resize it, and make it overlap the second robot.

Using rulers and guides
You may want to be more precise in your placement of your symbol instances. In
Lesson 1, you learned how to use the X and Y coordinates in the Properties inspector
to position individual objects. In Lesson 2 you learned to use the Align panel to align
several objects to each other. Another way to position objects on the Stage is to use
rulers and guides. Rulers appear on the top and left edge of the Pasteboard to provide
measurement along the horizontal and vertical axes. Guides are vertical or horizontal
lines that appear on the Stage but do not appear in the final published movie.
1 Choose View > Rulers (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R/Option+Shift+Command+ R).
Horizontal and vertical rulers measuring in pixels appear along the top and left
edges of the Pasteboard. As you move objects on the Stage, tick marks indicate
the bounding box positions on the rulers.
