Hello! I haven't messed with the Neato stuff in a while. I'm forwarding your message to Camp. He is pretty knowledgeable about the Neato stack on ROS.

So, I'm trying to get into ROS with this project, and there's something wrong with my odometry. When I'm driving around it eventually ends up deviating from what rvis is showing. I want to fix this, but I don't know how.
How can I tune this?
According to the videos I'm learning, there should be a description file somewhere that I could change like the wheel size, or distance, but I can't find anything that looks familiar.

Hello James! Good to hear from you, and Happy Holidays! I don't see pingyofdoom's email here, but this is my answer. The Botvac package doesn't use the standard counting of odometry ticks to calculate motion. It uses the Neato's built-in odometry command (built into setmotor) as described in the Neato Programmer's Manual: https://help.neatorobotics.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/XV-ProgrammersManual-3_1.pdf If you look at "neato_driver.py"* you can see where it gives the robot odometry using "setmotor". Here is my Neato Botvac Github forked from James Nugen's work, among others: https://github.com/cpeavy2/botvac_node My email address is @." if you have further questions, join our HomeBrew Robotics Club meeting on Nov 30 at 7pm Pacific Time.
