-The purpose of this is to essentially allow us to modify commands before actually giving them to a robot to ensure reliability. This will also make it possible to reference a movement and have the physical robot follow it.+The purpose of this is to essentially allow us to modify commands before actually giving them to a robot to ensure reliability. This will also make it possible to reference a movement and have the physical robot follow it. In other words, we don't want break the robot, so we first test our code on a simulation.

-Note: Be warned that even with all of this in place, you may (will?) run into alternate issues that vary by computer. One thing may be as much of an offshoot as  ROS and Gazebo version issuesdependency problems, and the beloved server connection failure.+Because Gazebo can be so resource intensive, some of the problems experienced may actually just be the computer unable to handle the workload.

You could also encounter dependency problems, or the beloved server connection failure.
