 This first step in learning how to control a robot is to learn how to get its actuators to work.  The vanilla turtlebot only really has two of them, a left wheel and a right wheel. This would be the simplest instantiation of a (non-trivial) mobile robot.  The [[http://learn.turtlebot.com/|Learn Turtlebot]] github repository has been cloned to the [[https://github.com/TurtlebotAdventures | TurtleBot Adventures repository]] as "turtlebot."  It provides some simple python-based ROS scripts for controlling the robot.  The code is quite primitive, so you will be able to see how well basic commands work by using open-loop control signalling and some form of dead-reckoning.

 Before downloading and checking out the code, see if you can figure out what types of commands the code should have by examining the teleoperation code, plus any related online tutorials/documentation. See if you can figure out:

 OK, now let's check out what we gained from the above exercise and see what's up.

 Connect to the turtlebot and run the code on it (of course, you'll first have to git clone it).

 Run the programs many times.  How well does the robot execute the commands?  If you work out the math for them, is it following the theoretical movements?  Try out different surfaces.  How do they impact the robot movement?
-What are the topics that are published to in order to send the commands?  Do they agree with what you found? did you find any extra?  If so, how do they relate to the ones here?
