With the new motor and some tweaks to the odometry node settings, I am getting vastly improved maps. I am rotating the bot at the very slowest speed possible before the motors give up and have found a way to squeeze more performance out of the TX2, so I am at least getting 4Hz from kinect2_bridge which gave an immediate improvement.

Its still not perfect, and if I could convince my laptop to run kinect2_bridge without erroring out I would try that, however what I have should be enough to create a small map. It really does look as if the TX2 just doesn't quite have the grunt.

Do you know of anyone using a kinect 2 and a TX2 who gets good performance? Would be good to get some pointers on how to squeeze more out of those rocks! :)
