As of Thursday, April 16th, all CARMA repository names will be changing. In order to keep naming consistent with our Docker Hub repositories, we are migrating the names from camel case (CARMALightbarDriver) to skewer case (carma-lightbar-driver). All hardcoded dependencies on repository names will be updated and pushed to the develop branch by the CARMA team. Please be aware of this change, and plan accordingly. If there are any questions, please reach out to us at [CARMAsupport@dot.gov](mailto:CARMAsupport@dot.gov).

Best,  
The CARMA Team
