I have designed simple a 4-wheel robot and I want to make it move. The controller below is located in "myrobot.gazebo" file and it works with 2 wheels and a caster. Is it possible to modify the controller so it can control 2 wheels on each side? 

<gazebo>
<plugin name="differential_drive_controller" filename="libgazebo_ros_diff_drive.so">
  <legacyMode>false</legacyMode>
  <alwaysOn>true</alwaysOn>

  <leftJoint>left_wheel_hinge</leftJoint>
  <rightJoint>right_wheel_hinge</rightJoint>
  <wheelSeparation>0.4</wheelSeparation>
  <wheelDiameter>0.1</wheelDiameter>
  <torque>20</torque>

</plugin>
</gazebo>
