This PR adds the option to use steering angle and linear velocity for controllers that inherit from the steering library.

To send us a pull request, please:

  • Fork the repository.
  • Modify the source; please focus on the specific change you are contributing. If you also reformat all the code, it will be hard for us to focus on your change.
  • Ensure local tests pass. (colcon test and pre-commit run (requires you to install pre-commit by pip3 install pre-commit)
  • Commit to your fork using clear commit messages.
  • Send a pull request, answering any default questions in the pull request interface.
  • Pay attention to any automated CI failures reported in the pull request, and stay involved in the conversation.

The tests on HEAD are currently broken, but I wanted to get this PR out in order to track progress.

Can you please use the new convert_steering_angle_to_angular_velocity method in the existing parts of the code, where the same formula is used?
