I had to do some changes in order to make the code compile again. It
seems you forgot to update your sources before you committed your
changes. Please remember to always update before a commit. Also, please
record your changes in the ChangeLog file.

>From my own experience, the PCL-CVS tool in Emacs is very useful for
working with CVS. It lets you examine a directory, will show any files
that were modified, need update, have conflicts, etc. You can easily
diff files in different windows, add ChangeLog entries, and then use the
ChangeLog entries automatically as messages when you do a commit. I use
it all the time, it's very handy.

As an example, I usually go to the rcssserver3D folder and then choose
Tools->PCL-CVS->Examine Directory. This will show me which files are
different from the versions in the CVS. I can then do a diff using '=',
open a file using 'f', add a ChangeLog entry using 'A', and then commit
changes using 'C' and 'Ctrl-c Ctrl-c'. This will automatically use the
message I put in the ChangeLog the file(s) I want to commit, so I don't
have to document twice.

You can find many manuals about PCL-CVS on the web, for instance here
[1]. Of course there are other good tools, but my own experience with
this one has been really good, so I thought I'd share :-)

There is also a mailing-list for receiving all the emails generated by
the CVS system if someone commits new code. It can be handy also. You
can subscribe at [2], if you haven't done it yet.

Apart from that: the code works great now. Not only will the robot
rotate at a global angle now, it will also stand up if it had fallen
down before ;-)

Cheers,
Joschka
