Reading List

Below is a list of things you should read up about

Git(hub)

While the stuff below is important, it won't matter if you can't push your code to this repository. If you are new to Git and Github (which you can just think of as Git running on the cloud, with some administrative stuff) please read up about it. You can start with this beginner's guide on Git

Competition Guidebook

NASA has a lengthy and comprehensive guide book for this competition. It contains exact(ish) details on what we can and cannot do, and how exactly we will be graded. Do keep in mind that this competition is far more than just a robotics competition. Details on outreach, systems engineering, etc. are included. Here is a link to the latest version.

Advanced Reading List

The stuff below are very important for our success in this year's competition. If you can understand them, please let me know. This is literally top-3 university level stuff.

  1. ROS 2 Navigation for pathfinding
  2. Kalman Filters very widely used algorithm for filtering sensor data
  3. RealSense cameras that we use for identifying obstacles
  4. YOLOX, a robust library for identifying and tagging objects

Minor Reading List

The stuff below is less important, but good to know

  1. Markdown Guide. Markdown is used for writing pages like these and is super simple
  2. Local Gitignore. You should use this so as not to push files to the repository that you think other people don't need. Ordinarily, people would modify the .gitignore, but I don't want you to do that
