2+
3+
Example \ref bitrl_example_11 discussed _ChBody_. Specifically, how to create a _ChBodyEasyBox_.
4+
Understanding rigid bodies is fundamental to robotics and further examples in this series will dive deeper into
5+
this subject. In this example we want to create a simple simulation of a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_wheeled_robot">differential drive robot</a>.
6+
According to wikipedia:
7+
8+
_A differential wheeled robot is a mobile robot whose movement is based on two separately
9+
driven wheels placed on either side of the robot body. It can thus change its direction by varying the
10+
relative rate of rotation of its wheels and hence does not require an additional steering motion.
11+
Robots with such a drive typically have one or more caster wheels to prevent the vehicle from tilting._
12+
13+
Thus we will build a robot with two motorised wheels and one passive caster wheel useful for balancing the robot.
