Developing ROS programs for the Sphero robot

You probably know the Sphero robot. It is a small robot with the shape of a ball. In case that you have one, you must know that it is possible to control it using ROS, by installing in your computer the Sphero ROS packages developed by Melonee Wise and connecting to the robot using the bluetooth of the computer. Now, you can use the ROS Development Studio to create ROS control programs for that robot, testing as you go by using the integrated simulation. The ROS Development Studio (RDS) provides off-the-shelf a simulation of Sphero with a maze environment.
