Hi, I have written a urdf file for a 2 wheeled robot, but I can't seem to get it to drive properly using the diff_drive_controller gazebo plugin. Instead of driving normally, the robot somersaults in the direction that I want it to move in. Is there anything I'm doing wrong when I'm setting the conditions of the plugin? I'm new to ROS.

Check your inertia values, collision shapes, and joints. Also try reducing (or otherwise alternating) wheel torque.
