## Simulation Issues

Please note, at this time there are two known issues you with simulation

1. Gazebo + Mimic Joints for the Robotiq Gripper
2. Protobuf version mismatch

# Gazebo and Mimic Joints

A pull request has been made to gz_ros2_control which is how this repository was tested in simulation.
The pull request won't be merged as the fix should be done upstream in gz-sim.
Once a fix is available ros2_robotiq_gripper will be re-released and an update should fix any workarounds.

In the meantime if you need simulation checkout the upstream pull request link:

If errors are encounter you must clean your workspace and run colcon build in two steps:

1. build everything except kortex related packages
