Hello everyone, My name is Timo Stienstra. After completing my BSc. Mechanical Engineering with a minor Computer Science, I am now in my first year MSc. Mechanical Engineering student at Delft University of Technology. Here I follow the track BioMechanical Design, where I also specialize myself in robotics. I am interested in contributing to the mechanics module of SymPy, but for GSoC I would specifically like to focus on further developing construction of systems from bodies and joints <https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-Ideas#classical-mechanics-constructing-systems-from-bodies-and-joints> . However I am not sure how to interpret one of the suggested next steps, namely *Make the rotations quaternion based.* Could someone elaborate on what is meant with this step? I know that the orientation of the child body with respect to the parent could be described by a quaternion, but the orientation is in the end saved as a rotation matrix within the ReferenceFrame objects. And I do not think that the goal of this step is changing this in the ReferenceFrame class.
