What I would like to see as a result of our efforts

What I would like to see is a "hello world" demo for ROS.  Take 2 machines and have the first machine run code of a robot/machine in simulation as a client in the system and have the second machine be the controlling console.  This does 2 things for me.  1 - it proves beyond a doubt that what we put together does work.  2 - it gives us a starting point for replacing items and knowing that the rest of the system works.  I really hate having to fix 5 unrelated things at a time because I have not be able to isolate where the problem really is.  I am of the belief that these items exist but do they exist in this form?
