Need to make own controller manager instance: https://answers.ros.org/question/199042/how-to-run-controller_manager/

It doesn't need any special connection to the bullet_server, since everything is controlled through topics, so it will be generic and maybe should go into different repo later.

Maybe the boilerplate code already does this, if not it at least provides a template: https://github.com/davetcoleman/ros_control_boilerplate

Need ros_control_boilerplate generic_hw_interface to not error out if no urdf- make own version or modify source then try to merge it?

Modify ros_control_boilerplate for now: https://github.com/davetcoleman/ros_control_boilerplate/issues/17

It looks like the diff drive controller is running and updating properly, but the joints it has aren't connected to the joints in diffbot_control.
