Combining models for a hybrid robot (Flying and driving)

Hello, I'm new to Coppeliasim and I'm trying to simulate a hybrid robot that can fly and drive. Is there an easy way to do this? Like combining the quadcopter and the pioneer model? If so, how is that done? If combining both models isn't possible, what is the best way of approaching this simulation as I'm new to Coppeliasim?

Hello,
yes, you can combine 2 different models. You would normally use a force sensor to connect both robots together (e.g. via their root object).
However, keep in mind that you could also simply apply a vertical force to a mobile robot in order to have it fly (i.e. this is how the quadcopter operates: by applying artificaly forces/torques via sim.addForce or sim.addForceAndTorque)
Cheers
