Fantastic addition, have not yet tried this, but it is definitely on the todo list. I think simulation of a standard robot chassis in something like Player/Stage would be the next logical step toward testing the theory.

I have been working with Linux Robots and higher level navigation for a few months and Player/Stage or OpenSim (deeper) will be a great assistance to teams who are not able to touch a real robot. Mainly because it integrates off the shelf sensors and hardware into a standard package package anyone can pick up an operate. For the best introduction to the player stage world, I suggest running the Pyro LiveCD. Sorry about the off topic,

Sean, you have developed a great resource for the FIRST community, my team has been very impressed!
