[[Category:RoboRacing]]
RoboRacing is a competitive robotics team geared towards autonomous racing of small scale automotive platforms. The team started in 2013 and has since built robots to compete in the IARRC competition since the team's inception, as well as the Sparkfun AVC competition since 2016. RoboRacing is additionally planning on competing in the evGrand Prix Autonomous competition in 2020.

RoboRacing puts its members at the forefront of emerging technology in self-driving cars through involvement in autonomous RC vehicle design, fabrication, and programming. Each competition has proven to be a great learning opportunity for everything from robust mechanical design to advanced programming skills that could be applied to diverse engineering applications.

Bcochran32: Sets up driving Sedani with a joystick over WiFi

"Man vs Machine" redirects here.

The great part about RoboRacing is being able to drive fast cars when for "testing." For fun on Sedani, it can be fun to set up a FPV headset and steering wheel to feel like you are really sitting there driving! You can even test your driving skills versus our autonomous code.

Warning: Moving a vehicle can be dangerous. FPV requires another person to be the "spotter" and have a remote e-stop to kill the car in case of loss of connection. Always range test your connections.

You will note that there is a bit of lag between the input steering and the actual. You may also notice that you do not have very long range with a single access point. That is normal because WiFi can be slow and not long range.

===What you need:===
*Sedani (or comparable vehicle with ROS)
*Laptop with ROS
*Wireless Access Point (or shared WiFi network)
*USB Steering wheel (or joystick if you are strapped)
*FPV Camera (and transmitter)
*FPV Headset

===Setup:===
#Set up FPV camera on Sedani
#Set up access point
#Connect Sedani and Laptop to access point
#Set up ROS multiple machines. Tutorials [HERE](http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/MultipleMachines) and [HERE](http://roboticsknowledgebase.com/wiki/networking/ros-distributed/).
##A quick overview of step 4:
##Find the IP Address of each computer
##Run roscore on Sedani
##Export the IP of Sedani with <code>export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://<SEDANIIP>:11311</code>
##Run the same command as in above step on the laptop
##Note: Unless you actually put these commands in the bashrc, nodes will only be shared between computers when run in the same terminal that you ran the step 4 commands in.
#Plug in the USB steering wheel to the laptop
#Now that that roscore is shared, run on the laptop <code>roslaunch rr_platform joystick_driver.launch</code>
#On Sedani, run <code>roslaunch rr_platform sedani_motor_relay.launch</code>
#Zoom that pasta

Setting Up Ubuntu for Ethernet LAN While Preserving Wifi Internet Access

2018-08-24T00:15:09Z

Bcochran32:

In 2018, both RoboRacing and IGVC are adding features to their robot which work through the Ethernet hardware. By default, Ubuntu prioritizes the ethernet interface over wifi. In situations where an internet connection is still desired (e.g. SSH connection to robot, pulling from remote changes on git repo onto the robot), Ubuntu can be easily configured to use ethernet for local network connections only.

=== Creating a LAN-only Network Interface: ===
# Open the connections editor from the network drop-down ("Edit Connections...") or launch <code>nm-connections-editor</code>
# Select the wired connection (the local one, which we don't want to use for Internet access) and click "Edit"
# Under IPv4 settings, change Method to "Manual"
# Enter any static IP (e.g. 192.168.2.1), set Netmask to 255.255.255.0 (or 24), and leave Gateway blank
# Select "Routes..." and enable "Use the connection only for resources on its network"
# Save progress and restart your networking stack: "Enable Networking" twice or <code>nmcli n off && nmcli n on</code>
You should now be able to both access the Internet and ping devices on your Ethernet LAN.

=== Adding a Second Interface for Normal Internet Usage ===
This is useful if you are testing on a personal laptop and sometimes like to use Ethernet like a normal person.
# Open the connections editor
# Select "Add..." and then "Ethernet"
# Set IPv4 Method to "Automatic (DHCP)"
# It should be easy to switch between the two interfaces through the network manager menu or the <code>nmcli</code> tool.
