Hi Adolfo,

These values are not currently exposed as parameters and should be, and
their behavior should be documented, as they are indeed important aspects of
creating plans (and can be a significant source of consternation if you
aren't expecting them).  I created a ticket here:
https://code.ros.org/trac/wg-ros-pkg/ticket/4730

We are diving into a complete rewrite of ompl_ros in tandem with a complete
rewrite of ompl by our collaborators at Rice, so it's possible you'll have
to wait for a new version to see this.  In the meantime if you do happen to
create a patch in ompl_planning or ompl_ros please attach it to the ticket
and we'll look to incorporate it into the current version.

Thanks,
Gil
