I am attempting to install ROS for NXT Diamondback on my Ubuntu 16.04. Is this even possible?
No, unfortunately not.
When I get to step 1.6, apt-get cannot find the package:
daniel@beepboop:~/Downloads$ sudo apt-get install ros-diamondback-nxtall
which makes sense, as only ROS Kinetic is supported on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial).
The NXT stacks are rather old, and I remember various people making various efforts to port them to newer versions of ROS. Some related links:
There appear to be various forks of the original NXT packages on Github, perhaps some of those work on newer ROS versions. I have no personal experience with any of those, so you'll have to test them out.
