Many teams may have focused more on the signal processing aspects of the catvehicle tasks. If this is the case, you may be worried about how long it will take you to produce a solution to commanding the velocity.
Relax! If this isn't a priority for your team's solution, you can just have your task3.launch launchfile include the catvehicle_hoffmannfollower_node, and then you should be good to go! Make sure your world file that you start up with catvehicle_custom.launch is one in which the catvehicle can drive around.
If you feel like you're close to getting it to work but just need a little help, reach out to us! Make a post on the forum to request technical help, or suggest a tutorial that will enable you to get over the finish line. We're here to support your work to make the Challenge a success!
We have reserved two days for driving your Task 3 solutions with the CAT Vehicle: Sunday 23 April and Tuesday 25 April 2017. The day in between allows you to work on refining your algorithms and finalizing your approaches.
Four teams will be supported to travel, based on the strength of your Task 3 submissions, and any teams that wish to support their own travel in order to see their code run on the car may apply to come by sending an email to sprinkjm@email.arizona.edu.
