Revision history [back]

I have discovered the cause; in the launch file for the navigation stack it appeared the cmd_vel topic was being remapped to a different name. As such, the original cmd_vel wouldn't receive the commands from the local plan.

It all seems to work just fine now, with the robot driving a little more straight as a result. Apologies for any inconvenience!
