RE: Open source robot controllers

Dear Henrik,

As Dymula uses Modelica, 20sim uses Sidops which has the constructs and
power port features I said before.
20sim is proprietary as Dymula, but Sidops is open and the 20sim team is
busy writing a formal definition of Sidops which will be publically
available.

Furthermore, they are planning to make a free viewer/simulator available
with which you can view/simulate somebodyelse's model, but you cannot change
it and save it.

So I do believe it is worth having a look at it for our purpose.

Thanks

- Stefano
