@mrjoshwu I think you can get away with a lot just using wheels. We won’t go into robot dogs or humanoids in the course though

Day2: Basic commands in ROS2 Got basic understanding of topics, nodes, publishers and subs. @discord is a good ref. Also learnt how to pull details using list, echo, info and interface+show functions. (aha moment with how joint states and geometry coordinates may be used for AI manipulation). PS echo function doesn't load for some topics ie /cmd_vel and diff drive cmd_vel, but works for others ie /clock, /jointstates. Tried both VSC and Terminator @JohnVial Any ideas why it doesn't load?

Day 1: Test driving Krytn in Gazebo 3 things I learnt 1. Think big picture rather than individual parts 2. Design commands based on fundamental physics (linear & angular velocities) 3. Complex robots but simple & easy GUIs @JohnVial
