I'm trying to test out the follower example on my turtlebot. Everything seems to work fine, I start the follower app, the kinect comes on, then as soon as the motors move the kinect shuts off. Sometimes the robot will move a little bit before it shuts off. Other times it seems like the kinect is still running (red IR light is on) but the robot doesn't respond at all.
Here's what I get out of the follower app.
