# IFL Overview

For a high level description of the IFL and its capabilities, see the IFL website "[About the IFL](https://ifl.ae.gatech.edu/about-the-ifl/)" page.

**What tools the IFL provides:**

* A \~30 camera Vicon system along with associated peripherals.
* A GTAE-IT-managed Windows 11 PC equipped with a high end network card for interfacing with the Vicon hardware, and installed with Vicon Tracker 3.
* A high end low-ping gaming router connected for connecting remote devices to the Vicon network using WiFi.
* An overhead tether system for catching your aircraft or hoisting anything such as a drop mechanism or camera.
* Enough air mattresses to cover the entire space as well as inflater/deflater pumps. Use these as crash mats to protect your drone from crash damage.
* A Github repo containing multiple options for connecting to the IFL network and getting Vicon data onboard your vehicle.

**What the IFL does not provide:**

* Vicon markers (these can be bought in multiple places such as [B\&L Engineering](https://bleng.com/#)).
* Any robots (ground or aerial) or associated hardware.
* Any hardware or software for implementing specific functionality (such as radio links, microcontrollers, or robot command/control software).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://gtae.gitbook.io/ifl/master.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
