Hi Lentin,

Thanks for the guidance! I noticed that sometimes the robot spawns twice in Gazebo due to timing and automatic renaming. I made a small fix that delays the spawn slightly and disables renaming to prevent duplicates.

I’ve opened a pull request with the changes and would appreciate your feedback when you get a chance.

Thanks again for this repo!
