My organization is not currently using ROS but I am intrigued. I've proposed the idea of us using ROS and the pragmatists inevitably ask, "what's the value of switching to ROS?"
I have some thoughts/ideas on this but am not yet skilled in ROS. So, I thought I'd throw the question out to you the experts,
Why is ROS so great?
But what the real value for your organisation is depends on the type of application.

'What is ROS' and 'Why use ROS' etc have been answered here and also at the ros wiki. Since ROS has been around for more than 4 years now, these questions should not be encouraged, rather one should be asked to look up the wiki etc.
I actually don't remember a wiki page answering this question (why use ROS), could someone comment and provide the link so that it can be captured with the question so that the information could point to the wiki?
@trinighost Hello, (1) this is for 'What is ROS' ==> http://answers.ros.org/question/12230/what-is-ros-exactly-middleware-framework-operating-system/ and though the answer to (2) 'Why use ROS' is not so explicit, but you can find it here ==> http://www.ros.org/wiki/groovy (for Groovy)
