Takes long time before the robot gets spawned #12

I managed to spawn the tetris robot in Gazebo. I just have to wait for 3 or 4 minutes after the command GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=src/osrf/gazebo_models roslaunch tetris_launch demo.launch. Machine is fast enough (i7 quad).

Maybe hakuto package is not responsible for this issue since this lagging also happens with turtlebot_gazebo on this machine.

GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH MUST be absolute path.

$ GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=/home/user/cws_spaceex/src/osrf/gazebo_models roslaunch -v tetris_launch demo.launch

Now that the model file that is used in the package is found, Gazebo initializes instantly.
