Let me know when you want me to take a look and the context :-)

Not yet, when I test everything, But you can give me a tumbs up on the estetic changes, if you agree with them, using it to redo the videos i did in tutorial page.

gazebo_sonoma_raceway.

Also, for more context, the robot when it spawns, it spawns with its wheels/caster under the ground. The robots two front wheels slowing adjusts and comes out , while the two back casters were not able too, causing the robot to be at an angle. This caused the issue where the lidar is poiting directly to the ground( the thing you pointed out before). Spawning a bit higher solves the problem.

This then created another problem( I had similar issue when I did a space rover to ride on ground created height map), the robot was sliding. It seems that there is an issue with the current gz sim with friction when using the ode pluguin. See gazebosim/gz-sim#2528. Using bullet instead solved the friciton problem.
