Re: Changes in "sunspotfrcsdk" for 2014

It looks like a souped up TableViewer, that lets you modify values as well.

- Is it just me, or do the Javadocs for this year still say "2013 FRC Java API"? Not a huge issue, just curious.
I noticed that too. I filed a bug here: http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/go/artf...3894634297 32

- Perhaps most interestingly, there is a new subdirectory called "sim/", as well as a "simulate" Ant task. Inside the "sim/" folder are scripts for installing Gazebo simulator and ROS (Robot Operating System) on Debian, as well as what appears to be a plugin for the simulator for FRC. Once again, I see no reference to any of this in the documentation. Does anyone have more information on it?
I heard rumors that they were working on a simulator. My guess is that it isn't finished yet, so that's why nothing was documented.
