Migrate RobotHW to combiner_robot_hw

[paulbovbel]

Thanks for developing this fantastic driver.

I'm working on moving the Clearpath Husky to a combined_robot_hw implementation for kinetic. This has the advantage of using only one controller_manager per hardware robot, with multiple HW endpoints (base and arm) as well as controllers loaded in-process.

Would you consider adapting your driver to do the same? It's kind of lacking documentation, but exciting nonetheless (see video here ros-controls/ros_control#237)

Has the "kind of lacking documentation" situation been improved?

I'm closing this as we've officially deprecated this package.

Refer to the announcement on ROS Discourse.

Note that initial support for CombinedRobotHW was merged in ur_robot_driver in UniversalRobots/Universal_Robots_ROS_Driver#34.
