Hello, I have been working in 4WS robot and your teleop node was very useful for debugging. I made a few changes to increase the functionality it would be great if you could review them. On the Launcher added the wheelbase parameter (should be provided from the robot description) added the launch a new terminal so that it can be called form another launch file On the script added two new keybindings for CW and CCW rotation added a rotspeed variable (works as the Z rotational speed vector) positive up =CW, negative down =CCW for that to work needed to include some more ifs to isolate the operation modes a little more.

You can review my ROS gazebo simulation on this repo, (I have a bug on the four wheel steering controller that when rotating in place at some point makes my robot backflip and go crazy) but The teleop mod works very well https://github.com/earthrover/OpenER

looking forward to your comments hope you like it (very new to Github
