I am quite the fresh starter with v-rep, and I am digging my way through tutorials, to get a general idea.
I am using ROS Indigo, but the ROS tutorial I could find for v-rep was from Hydro. So I eventually found out that Indigo is not yet supported by v-rep. Going back to ROS Hydro would bit a bit of a problem for me though.
Anyhow! My problem is at the point where I open the "controlTypeExamples.ttt" scene, and at this moment I am only interested in the RED ROBOT!
So:
1) roscore is running;
2) vrep_plugin loads fine;
yet when I start the simulation, the red robot does not move :(
The node seems to be up, but there are no topics related to /robBubbleRob like in the tutorial.

Is there a way to debug the source code at ros_bubble_rob?
Newb questions all over! Sorry if there is anything obvious I am missing!
