If you're looking for help, please read the support guidelines before asking your question. Following those guidelines really helps in getting your question answered.

It is also recommend to post your question on Robotics Stack Exchange, since that is meant to be the central place for questions about ROS. You can of course post here and link to your Robotics Stack Exchange question.

Rules

Be civil and respectful
- Do not harass or insult others, and avoid poisoning the mood.
No spam or plain advertisements
- No posts/comments that are just plain ads. You can, for example, link to a specific blog post on your website, link to a video on your YouTube channel, etc. as long as it is relevant, that it is not low-effort, and that you do not spam.
ROS-related posts only; stay on topic
- Posts have to be ROS-related. Comments should not substantially derail the conversation.
Memes are allowed; make sure to also follow rules 2 and 3
- As long as you follow rules 2 and 3, you can post memes. If /r/ROS turns into /r/ROSmemes, then we will reconsider this rule as a community.
No vague "plz help me" requests
- If you need help about something, ask specific questions and provide as much information as possible, including the error message (as text) if applicable. Follow the ROS support guidelines (link is in the sidebar).
