Hi Nate,

Thanks for the info. I think limiting gazebo to the simulation domain  
is the right choice. Had we not some architectural constraints with  
our app, I would use player  in an instant. It is by far one of the  
best (and cleanest--conceptually speaking) robot control servers I  
have seen in a while. Alas, I can't, not for this project at least.  
So will definitely look in tho the driver for tips to start a rewrap.

Thanks again.

Best,

--Juan
