This term we achieved a lot in terms of multiradar development which is a key step to utilizing radars in the competition. We got both radars put together in an rviz environment to work both live and with rosbags. A new ROS node was also created for multiradar filtering and overlapping point clouds. The radars have been mounted to the car so next term we hope to get radars integrated into our stack so we can use them at test tracks.
We had big plans for integrating the radar into our current stack this term but ran into a bunch of blockers with continental. For starters, we discovered a major bug with the radars at the end of last term so a good chunk of time was spent on workarounds to get usable data since conti had no timeline on a fix. They were also helping us build an object tracker but our 2 contacts working on that left conti leaving us with no idea on the status of that.
Plan better for time lost around exams. We lost a couple weeks around hell week and finals where most development stopped so looking back we should have planned around this better so make sure critical tasks were completed/documented before.
