left_wheeled

True if the robot is left-wheeled, that is, a positive turn of the left wheel results in forward motion.

Upkie's v1 and v2 are left-wheeled, but Cookies are right-wheeled.

To figure out if your robot is left- or right-wheeled, look at the rotor of its left wheel motor and assume its axis is pointing outward (i.e. from stator to rotor). A positive turn rotates the rotor around this axis in the trigonometric direction.
