I'm attempting to add support for our company's robot (http://www.corobot.net) 
and am having problems with the gripper interface as it is currently specified.

Most of the interfaces seem fairly generic (position2d can support all sorts of 
different bases for example) but the gripper interface is very limited, and 
seems to be designed for a specific robot's gripper. Unfortunately our robot 
doesn't match the model.

Our robot has a pressure sensor in the gripper and the ability to set the width 
of the gripper opening from fully closed (0 inches) to fully opened (1.3 
inches). With the current gripper interface supporting OPEN and CLOSE commands 
I would need to add code to watch the pressure sensor when closing until it 
sees pressure. I'm OK with this but I'd like a lower-level interface as well to 
allow the client to specify the amount of opening and to read how much pressure 
is being exerted by the gripper.

Did I misread the interface or is there some other generic way to provide what 
I need to do?
