Hello,

In my opinion, you could just check for the time ; after enough has elapsed, you can send another command or a "stop command" with speed equals to zero. The speed sent to the command topic is kept until the control node stops or receives a different command (at least on the PR2, but I don't think it's different for the TurtleBot).
