    Without encoders it would be a nightmare to simulate their value
    from the odometry we generate...<br>
    I don't envision rewriting the low-level code anytime soon.<br>

    Holonomic platforms are not very common [1][2].<br>
    We don't have one. That'sjust why it may be convenient to simulate
    one.<br>
    Holonomic platforms are widely used in theoretical works to simulate
    functions and theorems, thus to back your simulation with
    experimental results, you need to have your control law command real
    (non-holonomic) robots.<br>
    Hence a holonomic control for nonholonomic robots as I wrote it in
    my previous email.<br>
