Background There are logic flaws here: ros2_controllers/mecanum_drive_controller/src/mecanum_drive_controller.cpp Lines 559 to 562 in 5a52e84 const bool value_set_error = command_interfaces_[FRONT_LEFT].set_value(0.0) && command_interfaces_[FRONT_RIGHT].set_value(0.0) && command_interfaces_[REAR_RIGHT].set_value(0.0) && command_interfaces_[REAR_LEFT].set_value(0.0); It one set_value() fails, the other setters won't be called at all. Still, if one fails the robot would move weirdly and possibly pose a safety risk -> we should use a blocking version of set_value() Chang it to || logic set max_tries to -1 (it will try forever): set_value(0.0, -1) Fix also these parts
