When you want to use a Turtlebot:
Log in to the Turtlebot laptop.
Turn on the robot base. (The battery should be fresh, but swap it out if not. Please charge dead batteries!)
Start ROS's Turtlebot stack: roslaunch [robot_name].launch
Launch your code from here! Good luck!
When you have finished with your Turtlebot for the time being:
Stop ROS.
Commit your code.
Log off of the laptop.
Turn off the robot base. (There should be no lights on the base at this point.)
Plug in the laptop charger.
Remove the yellow battery from the Turtlebot base.
Take a freshly-charged battery out of the fast charger in 404 and place your old battery into the fast charger.
Install a fresh battery into the Turtlebot.
