The gazebo package for the MicroTrac isn't completed yet. There is still some work for it to work in Gazebo.

Here are some links to the project and tutorials

There are also great video's on youtube for ROS. Here are a couple:

• Gentle Intro to ROS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKIOb6lyrlI

ROS is a large topic but this will give them an overview.
