[ROS In 5 Minutes] 004 - What is roscore?

Hi all!

Welcome to this "ROS In 5 Minutes" videos series.

In today's video we are going to answer the question "What is roscore"?

But before we start, if you want to Learn ROS Fast, we recommend you take the following courses on Robot Ignite Academy:

ROS In 5 Days (Python) - http://www.theconstructsim.com/construct-learn-develop-robots-using-ros/robotigniteacademy_learnros/ros-courses-library/ros-basics-in-5-days/?
ROS In 5 Days (C++) - http://www.theconstructsim.com/construct-learn-develop-robots-using-ros/robotigniteacademy_learnros/ros-courses-library/ros-courses-ros-basics-in-5-days-c/

Our approach will be to SHOW what happens when 'roscore' is NOT running and what happens when it is. And then we go briefly over the theory behind this.

We'll also look at the command to start 'roscore' and what the output of this command means.

Let's go!
