F1Tenth_Hackathon_Evaluation

This is a ROS2 package that contains the evaluation scripts needed for the F1Tenth Hackathon

Notes

• For evaluating your algorithms, please ensure:
  1. Add your algorithm file in the F1Tenth_Hackathon_Evaluation/evaluation directory
  2. Add your node executable to the console_scripts list in F1Tenth_Hackathon_Evaluation/setup.py
  3. In F1Tenth_Hackathon_Evaluation/launch/test_eval_launch.py, replace wall_follower with the executable name you just defined in setup.py
  4. Under your workspace src/ directory, colcon build and source install/local_setup.bash
• The evaluation script will only run for 10 minutes and will print the final results and kill the node.
• Make sure the f1tenth simulator is running before launching the nodes
• To visualise the lap_marker, in RViz click "Add" > click on the "By topic" tab > click on the topic "/lap_marker" > click "Ok"
