Hi All,
I am the developer advocate over at Open Robotics. It looks like you have critical mass. Keep me posted on your progress and feel free to use this discourse topic (we would prefer Q&A goes on answers.ros.org). Please check out the current Apex.ai courses on autonomous vehicles. I also want to point you to the DARPA SubT tutorials. I would love to see a friendly pick up game of students using the SubT virtual test bed (this would make a great capstone group project). There should be some new SubT content coming out over the next few weeks. We might have some new reading material coming out in a few months, so stay tuned.
