Status

Status is defined as current realtime state of a set of values. This can range from anything like connectivitiy to the cloud or what the charging condition is on a given robot.

Format

Endpoints that provide status are generally named with a pattern that consists of Subscribe as a prefix and ends in Status e.g.SubscribeFooStatus). There is a subtle but distinct difference in usage for Status vs State.

Status represents the current snapshot of a state on the robot. This is why it is only associated with the Subscribe RPC endpoint.

State is a snapshot of a set of a set of values at some point in time. Messages that carry these values are named state as the message itself.
