Can tracks and wheels of the Bunker URDF rotate in rviz or gazebo?

Can tracks and wheels of the Bunker rotate in rviz or gazebo? Thanks!

Did you find a way to move tracks? Wheels rotate if bunker is tip over (but not tracks), if tracks touch the ground nothing moves. Thanks!

No, I can't find a way to solve this problem. This should be caused by its model files.

I agree, there is a mistake in the original model. We are working on that... if you are using ROS1 there is a simple solution, in gazebo 8 and 11 you can find an example of a simple tracked vehicle that can be used to correct the original Bunker model (https://answers.ros.org/question/249874/tracked-robot-gazebo-ros/), and you can directly use this plugin https://github.com/lprobsth/gazebo_ros_tracked_vehicle_interface that supports the kinematics of tracked vehicles. Unfortunately, no porting of that plugin for ROS2 exists... but we are working on it. Regards, Luca Bascetta Luca Bascetta, PhD.
