RobCo ROS2 binding installation in 1 minute

Based on the official RobCo documentation, this is a quick guide to install the RobCo ROS2 binding with just one shell script.

install-ros2-binding.sh
mkdir -p robco_ws/src
cd robco_ws/src
git clone https://gitlab.com/robco-public/ros/robco_ros2
cd ..
rosdep update
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src
colcon build
source install/local_setup.sh

Output such as this can safely be ignored as it is just a warning and does not indicate a failed installation:
