initial version

Hi veyorokon,

The new release of the Baxter SDK 1.2.0 has already the grippers in the 3D model, and the they are included in the TF three, which means that the end points are now calculated from the end of the "finger tips" of the gripper, not from the end of the wrist as before. This release of the 3D Baxter model is open-source. Since release 1.2.0, there is no need of having a Baxter robot to be able to access the model.

Check out the configuration and more in: http://sdk.rethinkrobotics.com/wiki/Release_-_v1.2.0 (it does not take the end of the URL properly, so it ends like this: Release_-_v1.2.0)
