Revision history [back]

I haven't done an in-depth analysis of all of your program logic, but the obvious bug seems to be that you never set the angular.z component of the motion command to a non-zero value, which means that you never send a turning command to the robot.

(linear.x is forward/backward velocity. angular.z is left/right)
