[[Category:IGVC]]
Welcome! Let's jump right in.

Robojackets IGVC currently supports the Ubuntu 18.04 and ROS-melodic environment. If you don't know what those are, don't worry! The project may build/run in other environments, but we can't guarantee it.

Ok, lets get down to business.

== Step 1 - Get Terminator ==

Forget the default Ubuntu terminal, we need both horizontal and vertical splits for productive activity. Start up the default terminal and type:
<div style="background:#eee; border:1px solid #ccc; padding:5px 10px"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace">sudo apt install terminator</span><br/></div>
You should now be using this from now on, it will help later,

== Step 2 - Set up your sources.list ==

Now for these next steps you don't need to understand what they do, only make sure they complete properly. So if you see any errors come up, tell one of us immediately. Copy this into your terminal:
<div style="background:#eee; border:1px solid #ccc; padding:5px 10px"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace"></span>
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
<br/></div>
== Step 3 - Set up your keys ==
<div style="background:#eee; border:1px solid #ccc; padding:5px 10px">sudo apt-key adv --keyserver 'hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80' --recv-key C1CF6E31E6BADE8868B172B4F42ED6FBAB17C654
</div>
== Step 4 - Update your Debian packages ==
<div style="background:#eee; border:1px solid #ccc; padding:5px 10px"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace">sudo apt update</span><br/></div>
== Step 5 - Get Ros melodic ==
<div style="background:#eee; border:1px solid #ccc; padding:5px 10px">
sudo apt install ros-melodic-desktop-full<br /></div>
== Step 6 - Initialize rosdep ==
<div style="background:#eee; border:1px solid #ccc; padding:5px 10px"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace">sudo rosdep init</span><br/></div><div style="background:#eee; border:1px solid #ccc; padding:5px 10px"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace">rosdep update</span><br/></div>
== Step 7 - Environment Variable Setup ==
<div style="background:#eee; border:1px solid #ccc; padding:5px 10px"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace;">echo "source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc</span><br/></div><div style="background:#eee; border:1px solid #ccc; padding:5px 10px"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace;">source ~/.bashrc</span><br/></div>
== Step 8 - Initialize catkin workspace ==
<div style="line-height: 20.8px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px 10px; background: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace;">cd <path to where you want to keep the project></span></div><div style="line-height: 20.8px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px 10px; background: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace;">mkdir catkin_ws</span></div><div style="line-height: 20.8px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px 10px; background: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace;"><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">cd catkin_ws</span></span></div><div style="line-height: 20.8px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px 10px; background: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace;"><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">mkdir src</span></span><br/></div><div style="line-height: 20.8px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px 10px; background: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace;"><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">cd src</span></span><br/></div><div style="line-height: 20.8px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px 10px; background: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace;"><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">catkin_init_workspace</span></span><br/></div><div style="line-height: 20.8px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px 10px; background: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace;"><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">cd ..</span></span><br/></div><div style="line-height: 20.8px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px 10px; background: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace;"><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">catkin_make</span></span><br/></div>
*Command should complete and not really do anything
*If init_catkin_workspace failed then ROS did not install correctly and/or try "sudo apt-get update" which may fix the issue where catkin_init_workspace command can not be found

== Step 9 - Clone IGVC Repository ==

*Fork IGVC Github Repository
<div style="line-height: 20.8px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px 10px; background: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace;">cd src</span></div><div style="line-height: 20.8px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px 10px; background: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace;"><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">git clone <your fork></span></span></div>
== Step 10 - Install ROS Dependencies ==
<div style="line-height: 20.8px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px 10px; background: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><font face="courier new, courier, monospace">cd ..</font></div><div style="line-height: 20.8px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px 10px; background: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace;">echo "source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc</span>
</div><div style="line-height: 20.8px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px 10px; background: rgb(238, 238, 238);">rosdep install --from-path src --ignore-src -y<br/></div>
*rosdep will download and install all of the necessary ros package dependencies, type "y" whenever it asks if it is ok to continue installation

== Step 11 - Build the Code ==
<div style="line-height: 20.8px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px 10px; background: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace;">catkin_make</span></div>
*If this fails the first time try running catkin_make again
*If it continues to fail because it could not find some of the igvc_msgs header files, run "catkin_make igvc_msgs_gencpp" and then "catkin_make"

== Step 12 - Run the Code ==
<div style="line-height: 20.8px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px 10px; background: rgb(238, 238, 238);">''In a separate terminal ''<span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace;">roscore</span></div><div style="line-height: 20.8px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 5px 10px; background: rgb(238, 238, 238);"><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">''In a terminal that isn't running roscore ''<span style="font-family:courier new,courier,monospace;">roslaunch igvc igvc.launch</span></span></div>
* The code should now be running and complaining about not being able to connect to various devices, this is all good and you are ready to start writing igvc code

Jviszlai3: /* Projects */

== Overview ==
The RoboJackets Outreach team's mission is the promotion of science and engineering education in K-12 students. Working primarily though [http://http://www.usfirst.org/ USFIRST] programs, we engage students directly to facilitate hands-on learning through competitive robotics.

We currently have four projects we work on throughout the year to achieve this mission:

*Technology Enrichment Sessions - educational workshops leveraging the [http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc ''FIRST'' Robotics Competition] to teach fundamental robotics concepts to area students.
*FRC Kickoff - the announcement event for the [http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc ''FIRST'' Robotics Competition]. In 2016, over 1000 students were in attendance on campus.
*FRC Mentorship - working directly with an FRC team, we act as coaches and mentors to assist students throughout the academic year, including building a competition robot over an intensive six week build season. The team we are currently working with is FRC 6705, WildCat 5e.
*Robot In 1 Weekend - building a robot for the [http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/ftc ''FIRST'' Tech Challenge] in the span of one weekend when its build season starts. The aim of this is not to compete, but to inspire students in the competition at the start of their build season.

== Overview ==
The RoboJackets Outreach team's mission is the promotion of science and engineering education in K-12 students. Working primarily though [http://http://www.usfirst.org/ USFIRST] programs, we engage students directly to facilitate hands-on learning through competitive robotics.

We currently have four projects we work on throughout the year to achieve this mission:

*Technology Enrichment Sessions - educational workshops leveraging the [http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc ''FIRST'' Robotics Competition] to teach fundamental robotics concepts to area students.
*FRC Kickoff - the announcement event for the [http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc ''FIRST'' Robotics Competition]. In 2016, over 1000 students were in attendance on campus.
*FRC Mentorship - working directly with an FRC team, we act as coaches and mentors to assist students throughout the academic year, including building a competition robot over an intensive six week build season. The team we are currently working with is FRC 6705, WildCat 5e.
*Robot In 1 Weekend - building a robot for the [http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/ftc ''FIRST'' Tech Challenge] in the span of one weekend when its build season starts. The aim of this is not to compete, but to inspire students in the competition at the start of their build season.

The RoboJackets Outreach team's mission is the promotion of science and engineering education in K-12 students. Working primarily though [http://http://www.usfirst.org/ USFIRST] programs, we engage students directly to facilitate hands-on learning through competitive robotics.

Our educational initiatives currently consist of three primary components:

*Technology Enrichment Sessions - educational workshops leveraging the [http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/ftc ''FIRST'' Tech Challenge] to teach fundamental robotics concepts to area students.
*FRC Kickoff - the announcement event for the [http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc ''FIRST'' Robotics Competition]. In 2014, over 1000 students were in attendance on campus.
*FRC Competition - working directly with an FRC team, we act as coaches and mentors to assist students in fielding a competition robot over an intensive six week build season. The team we are currently working with is FRC 5332, Toaster Tech.
