Maybe leave as true so we don't have to click it every time? I usually like to visual point cloud

So one thing about point clouds is that they are rather computationally expensive to render (ie. RViz gets a bit laggy), so I decided to keep it off by default, as seeing the point cloud isn't of utmost importance on every session. I would keep it on if it didn't have too much overhead, as I do like seeing it as well.
Though feel free to enable this on a separate branch if need be, just be mindful of not committing that change to master

Since I/we do need the updated RViz config to make visualization easier, I will merge this PR without approval. You can come complain to me if something doesn't work as intended |
To launch RViz, use
roslaunch description caffeine_rviz.launch. RViz currently visualizes all the sensor topics (in the Sensors/ folder) and has a Navigation/ folder for topics published by the Navigation Stack (@1999michael I would assign using the correct topics in the RViz Navigation/ folder as part of #11).RViz fps has been lowered to 15 fps and some topics are turned off by default. In the future, feel free to add topics that you need visualized to the rviz config file. Also, I am currently not using top down ortho view because I didn't think it was necessary, lmk if you disagree.
