Sorry I m not sure I understand what you mean.

Not all the robots in the folder of robots can follow a path, "out of the box". You have to, for example, make control script in LUA ton control the motors to follow a path (e.g. the robots in the demo scene "practicalPathPlanningDemo" ) or a line on the ground (line following tutorial) , or set their position according to a path using the set of function under "Path Object functionality" of this page (if the robot's dynamic is disabled if not there is an extra step to do like in this post)

I strongly suggest you to carefully do the great tutorials in order to get a grip on how V-REP is working. I promise you that the learning curve is not that stiff.

Cheers Eric
