duckietown

Hello,

I built myself a duckiebot as described in http://duckietown.mit.edu - and after a lot of work it works nicely. (well kind of)

Of course I have a lot of questions, but the main code repository at https://github.com/duckietown seems not really active. They are probably working for the second version of the robot, which I can understand, sometimes replying basic email is very distracting while you are working on robotic hardware.

So my question is this "Can we have a duckietown section on answers.ros.org?" - I replicated results and fixed some minor stuff due to using kinetic instead of indigo. I still have a lot of questions, and I understand there are others who also replicated results and have questions too.

Also the documentation for the duckietown project does not really cover all the code. For example there are localization.launch and localization_frontend.launch files, and when launched with the help of markers attached to the corner of the robot ground, will show where the robot is on rviz. There are many more demos like these.

Any ideas/recomendations/help greatly appreciated.

C.A.

Thanks for the suggestion.

We decided to encourage people to use answers.ros.org with tag " duckietown" when they have questions.

You can't really do sections on this site, it's really just made for questions and answers, not discussions or collaborative work. The closest thing you can do here is use tags, which it looks like you already know about since you tagged your questions with "duckietown".

I think what you might be looking for is something like ROS Discourse. You can start a page there and have nice lengthy discussions.
