Fri Jan 4 01:36:50 UTC 2013

Hi Chad Rockey,

Thanks for your reply. You are right, it is very fun to play with Razor.
The fast 3D simulation in this razor_imu_9dof make it look like a rocket!
This package also publish IMU message which make it good for this package
www.ros.org/wiki/robot_pose_ekf

Glad you enjoy this release, feel free to comment and make this package
awesome.

PS: I will make a Youtube video to prove that this package works like magic
:)
