Fix Robot Model in Gazebo and RViz2 #2

Closed wltjr closed 7 months ago

wltjr commented 7 months ago

Three issues:

This is mostly an issue in Gazebo and not RViz2, although, the issue of moving backward might exist in both. Either the robot is moving backward, or the bucket ladder is on the wrong end, so the model is backwards.

There is also the issue of the sprockets being misaligned and floating in Gazebo, despite being properly aligned in RViz2. Robot in Gazebo Robot in RViz2

Finally, there is some possible physics issue with the robot when it initially moves, could be due to being stuck in the floor on start. It also should not be rolling. Video of robot start in Gazebo

Sprocket issue seems to have resolved itself.

Robot exploding was due to being in the floor, the chassis was raised up, and other links were made to use that as the parent instead of base_link, refer to commit that closed the issue.
