[ros-users] Simulation Goal

[Tully Foote]

Hi Sam,

I would suggest that you try out the existing tutorials for stage and or
gazebo http://www.ros.org/wiki/simulator_stage/Tutorials   and
http://www.ros.org/wiki/simulator_gazebo/Tutorials  and from there you
should have an idea of how to use simulation.

What you want to do in using a partial robot, is equivalent to making and
configuring your own robot and although completely doable,
(The fundamentals are explained in one of the above linked tutorials)  the
complications required will hamper your learning of the rest of the systems.
