What are AprilTags?
An Apriltag is a fiducial marker used for a variety of tasks, ranging from camera calibration to localization. AprilTags are all around the field, whether you are in FRC or FTC.

How do we use Apriltags?
As said before, there are a variety of useful implementations of AprilTags, and because of their properties, simply having a camera on your robot to detect the tags around the field is enough to improve your controls, localization and more.
