Classic Canadian Robotics

Our proposal for a data collection car wasn't funded this year so we decided to throw together a rig on a personal car instead.  We logged 50 km of Velodyne-64, stereo, and POS-LV data around the UofT main campus.  The rig was mounted on a standard roofrack with cables coming through the sunroof and power coming in via jumper cables right on the car battery.  We're resubmitting our proposal this year for a more permanent solution, but this data should get us started and the setup will inform our eventual design if/when we actually get some money.
