Hi, thanks for your answer, John. Unfortunately, the robot is not actuated, yet. I am still having problems to even spawn the model without explosions or dancing. Maybe I am just misunderstanding some attributes. I am breaking down the model into pieces nearly all of the time I spend with it. It seems that there is a problem with the wheels/base. Moreover, the arms produce some tremor, too. I checked all of the masses, moi's and possible collisions by means of the bounding boxes. I only use fixed joints in order to avoid problems with joint limits etc. The source code for the base is attached. I already tried to use boxes instead of cylinders but it did not help. Furthermore, I did some trial-and-error value changes. Thanks, Ricarda
