Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not sure that that helps. That seems t=
o
cause the problem I had previously and reported here in the mailing list
where the paddles slide left and right as if they are on a frictionless
bar.
The problem that I am having (specifically in the example file
pioneer2dxGrip.world) is that I can't pick up one block and stack it on
the other. Either the paddles (with a block between them) slides back and
forth, or, if I rotate, the block pops out from between the paddles. If I
do get in a position with one block over the other, I can't set the block
down gently enough---the top block goes careening and tumbles away.
I assumed that this world was for demonstrating block stacking, but I get
the impression that no one has ever done it, and that Gazebo isn't quite
ready to be used for manipulation.
On a related note, it looks like the Gazebo pioneer gripper doesn't
support break beam states. I always get false.
