gazebo

gazebo is a simulation program we use to test our boat! instead of taking out our boat every time we need to test code, we simply run gazebo! * at the time of writing (2024), we are using Gazebo Garden. this should come preinstalled with the docker installation

how to use gazebo

launch gazebo using the command below: ros2 launch vrx_gz competition.launch.py world:=sydney_regatta once you open up gazebo, you'll probably be greeting with a frozen screen. don't worry, this is normal. give it a minute of two :]
