Hi everyone! The ROS day at ISR is happening! I made a wiki page for the event at http://www.ros.org/wiki/Events/ROSatISRCoimbra The reason for this mail however is that I would like to refer Stage and Gazebo on my presentation, however I have never used Gazebo and I need a cool screenshot. Could anyone send me a nice screenshot from Gazebo running? Something that will make the audience jaws drop! Thanks in advance!
