Currently, it is assumed that each thruster can provide a maximum thrust of 0.25 N. This is inaccurate, because the amount of thrust out of each thruster is also a function of which thrusters are being used.

- Resolved Issue Carleton-SRCL#8, reordered the build warning so that the diagram is in "Build" mode before the warning comes up.

- Resolved Issue Carleton-SRCL#11: Reworked the Ping tool to use a different mechanism. This should dramatically reduce the timeout when an IP address can't be pinged. Needs to be tested in-lab.

- Resolved Issue Carleton-SRCL#12: Changed the integrator for both the dynamics models as well as the  the integration of the platform attitude from the IMU.

I have written code to accomplish this task for RED and it seems to be pretty decent - but it requires knowing the CG, mass, and inertia of the platforms at the time the data is collected. I will write an entry about it soon.
