Re: [Playerstage-users] Detecting orientation and position of another robot in relation to myself?

[Tyler G. <ty...@eg...>]

Well, I guess I answered my own question now that I got Player/Stage  
compiled properly on my Mac :)  It looks like the fiducials already  
return orientation as well position, so I think I've got exactly what  
I'm looking for.

Thanks,
Tyler
