Hi all<br><br>Just wanted to clarify that I wasn't being critical :) I appreciate all the work you guys(and girls?) are doing. It was brought to my attention that my previous email could be read as overly cynical, please don't take it that way. You've got a great system going, and really if I'm trying to use your stuff and have troubles, it's my own issue, haha. So yeah, please don't think I'm having a go at you at all! I thank you (all) a lot for your work and your promt replies and constant help. I hope to be able to contribute something useful in return at some point in time, too :)<br>
Cheers<br><br>Ben<br>

Thanks Radu.<br><br>Yes, motion planning, towards the goal of grasping etc. Been at it for a while, trying to get the stack to work with our robot, pr2 is embedded into everything haha. So i thought I'd take a break and try to get something related but seemingly more generic up and running, and of course I chose a package that was essentially dead! Lucky me :)<br>
I'll let you know how it goes.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Ben</font><div><div></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 20, 2010 at 7:43 PM, Radu Bogdan Rusu <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rusu@willowgarage.com" target="_blank">rusu@willowgarage.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

As Gil said, we're in the process of converting the code and the underlying structures to "something better" (tm). :)<br>
We're working on the details right now, but it looks like this might happen within the next few weeks, so we'll keep you<br>
posted. In the meantime, try using the current code and let us know if you have any problems with it. Is your<br>
application motion planning or something else?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Radu.<br>
