Hi Team,
I'm Expecting my rover shortly and im planning on using it to teach my classes next year ( kids aged 8 to 12) and im looking to add some 3d mapping to help explain robotics to them. Is there a road map to integrate kinect or what more affordable lidar can i use with the rover?
Cheers,
Frans
