Here's a question for the group:
Lately I've been researching robotic simulation tools such as Webots, and
Player/Stage/Gazebo. Has anyone seen, heard, or thought of a visualizing
robotic simulator that works with LDraw models? In other words, you design
your robot in LeoCad (or MLcad, whatever), then import it into the
simulator, and watch it run around! You could even have virtual Botball
tournaments and such.
I know there are 'simulators' for the RCX that work at code level, that's
only part of what I'm talking about. This project would need a 3D dynamics
engine such as ODE, and visualization software such as OpenGL.
If it doesn't exist, I might start obsessing about building it. Does anyone
find this idea interesting?

| (...) Hi Dan, To my knowledge, there is no such a thing, and there is not enough information in the LDraw library format to be able to do this. A parts connection database was partially developed which would help with this, but so far it has minimal (...) (19 years ago, 24-Apr-05, to lugnet.robotics)
