Retrieving Way-points during IGVC #90

Closed erickmu1 closed 4 years ago

erickmu1 commented 4 years ago

Description:

Need to know how we will get navigation waypoints during IGVC competition and save them for our use in navigation

Goals:

[x] Read the IGVC rules (Auto-Nav challenge) in more details to learn how we get the waypoints
- [x] Implement code to receive waypoints if needed

Acceptance Criteria:

[x] We know how we will retrieve competition waypoints and necessary code exists to get them

Notes:

I believe they will tell us the waypoints (as GPS coordinates) beforehand, so we should be able to store them in a static file. But this needs to be double checked!

From the IGVC 2020 rules:

One waypoint pair will be the entrance and exit of the course in No Man’s Land. There will be two additional waypoints in No-Man’s Land.

There is no other information about way-points, and so we assume we will need to manually enter them into our system.

We'll assume we can store the waypoints in a text-file, and write a service node that reads from this text-file (see #93).
