Dear Daniel,

We have finished our report of our Mars Rover. I hereby represent UCL Rover Team to express our thankfulness for your kind help and selfless support that is beyond our words. We have added you to our thanks list (page 3) in the report as the mentor. Later on, in the summer, I will open source all the code, programming structure that we had developed throughout the year and of course a big shoutout for you. At that time I will let you know.

I wish your good-heart will make you truly deserve what you should deserve.

Wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart.

Kind regards, Dylan (Chenxi Zhang) UCL Rover Team

Daniel,

Thank you very much for your email, and I'm glad that you had such a great experience!  I haven't had a chance to get through all of it yet, but that is a phenomenal resource that you helped to put together!  I am really impressed at how thorough it is.  Would URC be able to get permission from you and the other authors to publish this on our web site?  I think this will really be a tremendous asset to offer to teams, and will do a lot to further the educational goals of the competition.

Regards, Kevin Sloan

Recently I'm reading about ROS and rovers and therefore I found found the Rover University Challenge. Somebody [Daniel Snider] made a nice handbook about that competition and survey of all team approaches. In the end I found your email on GitHub :) .

Once again, I appreciate for your help.
