[Rock-dev] ActuatorStatus range of positionExtern

[Jakob Schwendner]

Hi Christian,

It’s a position value, not an angle. So it is supposed to be summed up by
the generating component. 
Please note, that using actuators::Status is deprecated and you should use
base::samples::Joints instead (but I am sure you know).

Cheers,

Jakob
