ROS EdWG Sandbox Committee - 2023-09-22
Hi All,

In a past survey, we asked the members of the committee to answer some questions related to the ROS Sandbox - https://forms.gle/7sg2wmR3WgPLub1CA


Our goal - to come up with a survey of questions for the broader educator community to help us define the requirements and features needed to create a ROS sandbox for university undergraduate robotics / engineering students.

Listed below, I started a strawman of questions for the survey we will eventually socialize.

For each question - please provide your thoughts, opinions, clarifications, etc about the question. Do NOT provide the answer to the question!!

The last question is open ended - please add any other questions you think should be part of the Sandbox survey for the boarder educator community. 

If you have questions, feel free to reach out!

Thanks
Jack
