[ros-users] new ros repository hacdc-ros-pkg

[Andrew Harris]

Hello ROS-using colleagues and friends,

  I wanted to announce a ros repository maintained by HacDC:

http://code.google.com/p/hacdc-ros-pkg/source

  It contains packages useful for doing the assignments and such from
the HacDC robotics course material located here:
http://wiki.hacdc.org/index.php/Robotics_Class_2011.  It's been a
while since I last announced a repository, so I'm not sure what info
is required in an announcement these days.  If the repository crew
needs more info than the link above, just let me know.

   My personal favorite package from this repository is floating_faces
-- a set of cubes suitable for use in gazebo that are texture mapped
with faces of students from the robotics class.  These cubes are
useful for experimenting with the opencv face tracking while using
gazebo.

best regards,
