It’s true. I built a robot intended to be open sourced and reproduced by others. I wrote the entire stack from scratch in Python. People on the forum asked “why didn’t you use ROS?” which is a perfectly valid question. My answer was that at the time I started the project ROS didn’t support Python 3, ROS is in many ways mostly a system for multi process communication which is something Python already does fine, and I wanted to avoid the learning curve of both learning ROS and learning our system. Also, I wanted to see if I could do it and what it would be like.
But ROS is indeed a popular framework for robotics, so the question is a reasonable one to ask.
