initial version

None of the lectures for the class are on-line. In the classes, we didn't really cover ROS all that much. The vast majority of the time was spent on core robotics stuff, like kinematics, localizarion, mapping, and the like. I usually mentioned the associated ROS packages, but not in any depth. Mostly, what you see on the web is what the students got: they did the ROS tutorials, and then started to write some simple code to move a robot about in Stage, and then ported it to a real platform (Turtlebots, in the most recent iteration of the class).

If you're looking for more ROS-specific stuff for your own robot, I'd recommend Patrick Goelel's book, or (as Tully suggested in a comment to another answer the Homebrew Robotics Club.

Sigh. Spelled Patrick's name right this time.
