 ## Reporting & Fixing Bugs
 
 Bugs should be reported to the Github issues page of the appropriate repo. Please leave as much detail as possible including your ROS version, operating system, operating system version, and whether you built from source. Note however that we have limited resources to fix individual bugs, and are more inclined to give advice on helping you fix your own bugs.
