The template model for the red-ball in Gazebo was actually not tailored for the radius of the ball. I've therefore regenerated it by means of #18.
The start command has been extended in order to let the simulated robot look (optionally) at a specified location; I do employ this option to make the robot look down during the red-ball test, otherwise the ball will be off the camera.
