    I wrote a interactive website to show how Quaternions work in robotic:
    VisRo : Making Robotics Easy to Learn through Visualization

    you can have a try.

    I am learning ABB's after programming Kuka's. The Quaternions are a mind bender.

    This was quite the nice videos explaining things.

    Quaternions are 100% a better way of handling angles because with Euler angles you can run out of math at the quadrants. That being stated, they are a LOT harder to deal with.
