Thanks for the PR @tingelst. The collada meshes look good, although they won't look very nice in Hydro (but that is minor / irrelevant I believe). The black of the base is also really black (on my machine at least).

@tingelst: I didn't notice you pushed more commits to this PR (github doesn't notify you when someone does apparently).

Okay, no worries. Regarding the inertial tags, should I remove them in this PR. They are there just to keep Gazebo happy.

Gazebo needs them or the urdf won't work in simulation. It would've been really nice if you could tack inertial tags on using a gazebo reference="..", but unfortunately that is not supported. With the pkg layout proposed in ros-industrial/abb_experimental#18, we've separated as much as is possible I think.

The only thing I don't like about keeping the inertial tags is that the values are non-verifiable / just plain incorrect. Personally I'd like to keep urdfs as close to the real hw are possible. Perhaps the best what we can do is to document the fact that those values are not true to the real hw (it should be obvious, but lets make it explicit).

@tingelst: let's keep the interial tags, but add a comment to the package.xml that they are not based on any physical parameters of the robot and are just there for Gazebo compatibility (similar to the warning about the acceleration values in the Fanuc MoveIt cfgs (here)).
