Is it possible to decrease the ground_plane size ?

Hello,

I see that the ground_plane model is used in the empty world. and it seems to infinitely large. My bot travels to the edge of the defined size of 100x100 , but it still seems to keep on going and floating in air. Is it possible to make it fall down?

Any input would be useful. Thanks

What if you put a 100x100 cuboid on top of ground_plane? Then the robot would fall off.

The plane is infinite for physics, so if you want the robot to fall off, your best bet is to create a large box as @raequin suggested, be sure to make it static.
