For anyone competing or interested in URC, I wrote up our team's approach and other team's approaches in a book chapter:

https://github.com/danielsnider/ros-rover/blob/master/Book%20Chapter%20-%20University%20Rover%20Challenge%20Tutorials%20and%20Control%20System%20Survey.pdf

This chapter contains the survey results of 7 teams who competed at URC 2017, including 1st and 2nd place teams! We also created 12 tutorials for URC's competition and 7 new ROS packages that you can easily install (with apt-get) so that you don't have to reinvent the wheel. We want to encourage code reuse! Comments and improvements are welcome.
