Hi,
I am trying to find a workaround to make Baxter's end-effector to open and close using MoveIt:
arm = MoveGroupCommander("left_arm")
gripper = arm.set_end_effector_link("left_gripper")
With these two lines, I am creating the Baxter's arm and Baxter's end-effector, however from the documentation [here](http://docs.ros.org/indigo/api/moveit_commander/html/classmoveit__commander_1_1move__group_1_1MoveGroupCommander.html) there is no sign how you can possibly achieve "open" and "close" operations of the end-effector.
A possible solution was to use the built-in API (Rethink Robotics) that comes with Baxter but this will not be ideal solution since I don't want to mix two different APIs just to achieve this. I am sure there will be a solution around this? Has anyone in the past did "Open/Close" to a robot's end-effector using MoveIt?
