manipulation-Simulation (RoboCup-FEI)MCADConfidence: Medium

RoboCup-FEI took gripper and force sensor meshes from a 2018 thesis, but the assembly values did not come with them. Sensor offset went from 55.35 mm to zero and the gripper yaw flipped from plus 90 to minus 90 degrees, and flange to TCP is 159.0 mm on the branch versus 214.35 mm in the thesis. The PR is blocked until someone measures the real robot.
