Title: OpenRocketAPI

Hello, we are a group of CS majors and have been working on this as our Senior Capstone project.
Our goal with the API was to allow for running simulations by use python scripting, or other scripting methods.
We have added the API as a way to load an ork file, run a simulation, and retrieve data from the simulation.
Additionally, to allow for hardware in the loop testing we have added a stepper that runs the simulation one step at a time, to allow for real-time data transfer between openrocket and the flight computer of a rocket.

The flight computer in our case was [av3-fc](https://github.com/psas/av3-fc), and the scripts we wrote to interface between the added api and the flight computer are here [RocketTalk](https://github.com/PSUcapstonefall2013TeamA-PSAS/RocketTalk)
