Alternate vehicles / different robots

[Seb Kay (TooCoo)]

Is there support or documentation for adding custom robots models to the simulator like the YouBot, TurtleBot, or Husky?

I imagine changing the mesh is fairly straight forward but using a different motion model, like diff-drive or omni would be harder.

Hi Seb Kay (@TooCoo), You're absolutely right.
changing the mesh is pretty easy (here's a quick tutorial). However, changing the motion model would require more in-depth digging especially if you're planning on changing the 'car' model since (AFAIK) that's based on UE's car physics.

Thanks for this, very helpful.

I will dig deeper to see how I can change the car motion model, but for now this covers my needs.

Are there any updated on the general feature request of being able to add a vehicle with custom physics? In my case, I'd like to add a drone that has a payload attached to it via a ball joint.
