Task 3: Perception

DRAFT Template (please modify): In hopes of makes tutorials easier to write and giving them a standard format, I added this skeleton based on the Task 5 tutorial. Please fill in or change as needed. Thanks!

Summary

In this task, the vehicle remains in a fixed location and markers will appear in the field of view (see this video for a demonstration of the expected behavior). The objective is to use perceptive sensors to identify the markers and report their locations.
