What is a safe slope for the rover? #34

So at the normal forward sensor angle there are "normal" slopes that will trigger the Lidar as an obstacle within 1m keep in mind it is a big rover over 2.2m by 2.2m.

Luckily we can adjust the sensor angle just need to know whats reasonable. Might need a node that is in charge of watching the "horizon" and adjusting the sensor angle or something.

Note: It looks like it has to be on top of a volatile to detect it so knowing whats too steep and whats not can help search behaviors act appropriately.

At least find bad spots in the map. Bottoming out on rocks, etc.

Need to avoid dangerous rocks
