Some driver functionalities currently don't work with mock hardware:

50+
* The TCP pose broadcaster does not work.
51+
* The passthrough trajectory controller does not function when calling the follow joint trajectory action.
52+
* The force mode controller also does not respond when trying to start force mode.
53+
* The GPIO controller cannot verify that it has changed the state of an I/O pin, so it will report a failure when trying to set an I/O pin.
