[ros-users] Bug in base_assembler.h?

Hi Jordi,

The lines of code in question seem fine as is.  This loop is simply stepping
along the time history of scans until it finds a scan that occurs after the
request begin time.  The next while loop in the function then continues
stepping along, until it steps past the end of the request.

The tutorial was in fact broken.  I've uploaded a new laser.bag file, and
updated the launch file snippets.

Thank for reporting your troubles with this tutorial.  If you are still
running into problems, please let me know.

Vijay
