Hi ROS community-
I just wanted to say a word of thanks to all who have contributed to
building ROS, the Willow folks especially for answering our (sometimes
bone-headed :) questions.
I spent the past few days re-building the functionality of a teleoperation
program for a robot arm in our lab that used to run entirely on code I wrote
in Windows. Of course, it took months of development last year to build up
all the support pieces, such as a visualization engine, frame
transformations, stereo processing, controls, etc, etc, etc, and the
stability of that multi-threaded behemoth was not pretty. In contrast, I
think in total I spent about 4 days getting the whole thing running again in
ROS. It's amazing how productive we can be when we have good tools to draw
from :)
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks.
