    This robot uses the Physics Constraints in Blender to allow the wheels to
    behave more realistically. The wheels turn as the robot moves, and they have
    ``Rigid Body`` physics, so that they can also have collisions with nearby
    objects.

    It has two differential drive wheels, and an additional caster wheel for
    stability.  Since the wheels of this robot use the ``Rigid Body`` physics, it
    must be controlled with the :doc:`v_omega_diff_drive
