Dynamic Gazebo Models

Gazebo models for simulating doors/elevators. Currently available models: flip-open doors, slide-open doors, elevators with automatic slide-open doors (more coming soon). Plus, the bundle also comes with a generic dynamics-manager to control model groups via ROS service-calls or keyboard-op.
