Robotics Attitude Indicator Bug

The roll axis of the Robotics Attitude indicator is backwards.

 

"Roll - angle of Y body axis (wing) relative to horizon. Also a positive (right wing down) rotation about X body axis"

Should look like this below (level right bank).

Yep, probably right that we have that backwards.  What do you think we should do about it?  I'm hesitant to just change behavior at this point, because some might already be depending on the current behavior.

As Adam.Amos pointed out the dominant aerospace convention is x forward, y right, z downward. However some ground based applications use x forward, y left, z up. It is therefore possible that some depend on current behaviour.

If we have to support one the aerospace convention is likely more widely adopted but we could support both with an configuration option of some sort.
