New Project

Well Beagle_bot has sort off languished a bit in the last year the beagle board has been the main draw back, its very slow. I swapped it out for a note book the configuring took only 2 days. I now have a working robot running ROS hydro  the navigation stack works, the ps3 joystick wont work in remote mode due to a bug in ubuntu 12.4 but works in USB mode. The kinect is fitted but not tested, the behaviour engine works the patrol function works in simulation battery monitoring and recharge work but auto dock is not fitted yet

The kinect now works in both point clouds and laser scan mode using 
you have to launch the kinect with depth registration turned off for the laser scanner to work, the ps3 joystick wont work using sixaxis but will work with sixadd
