Here is some explanation about mocap and other positioning systems. I've placed it in the usage.rst file for now

It is not as extensive as the crazyswarm1 doc: https://crazyswarm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html but I think that the motion capture package also provides quite doc and explanation about it as well. Same goes with the positioning for onboard positioning (like the loco deck, flow deck etc) which can be referred to the bitcraze website.

I think this is good. What's missing (perhaps another PR from me?):

  • We should add a launch argument for tracking/positioning. Only if motion_capture is selected, we should run the motion_capture node
  • The "motion_capture" key in crazyflies.yaml needs to be replaced to be "motion_capture_rigid_body_tracking" (and accordingly in the launch file), and the documentation regarding this expanded (custom tracking vs. mocap vendor software tracking)

I have just added the launch file mocap argument since I've been hit by this problem many times myself :), however perhaps you can add the motion_capture_rigid_body_tracking as you know the most.

Let me know if you agree with my launch file addition and I'll merge
