Remarks

Drive moves the body along one degree of freedom, be it a linear motion along a particular axis or a rotational motion around a particular axis. The drive will apply force to the body that is calculated from the current value of the drive, using this formula: F = stiffness " (currentPosition - target) - damping " (currentVelocity - targetVelocity). In this formula, currentPosition and currentVelocity are linear position and linear velocity in case of the linear drive. In case of the rotational drive, currentPosition and currentVelocity correspond to the angle and angular velocity respectively.
