Description

As discussed here in Crazyswarm2 latest PR, we would like to have an option to opt out of the quarternion sending, eventhough the MoCap sends something. In less ideal setups (like we have in our arena), the position is good but the orientation is buggy and we rather would like to use the internal orientation estimation.

I think this can be done with setting it in the config file and using this ifstatement in the code:

Research direction

Start with motion_capture_tracking/src/motion_capture_tracking_node.cpp around line 250 and review the linked conditional from the issue. Then locate the package configuration used by this node; done means a configuration option can suppress motion-capture orientation data while retaining position data.
