OSLL/template-ros-core

This is a template repository for building a new package in ROS on top of everything that already exists in the repository dt-core (which in turn includes everything that exists in dt-ros-commons)

Template: template-ros-core

This template provides a boilerplate repository for developing ROS-based software in Duckietown.

NOTE: If you want to develop software that does not use ROS, check out this template.

NOTE: This template builds on all of the packages the dt-core repo. If you want to build an image without any of the packages in dt-core then use the template-ros repo
