        :param float wheel_base_width: The distance between the 2 centers of the 2 wheels as measured in millimeters.

        This should only be required in rare cases when the GoPiGo3's trajectory is skewed due to minor differences in the wheel-to-body measurements.

        The GoPiGo3 class instantiates itself with default values for both constants:

        1. ``wheel_diameter`` is by-default set to **66.5** *mm*.

        2. ``wheel_base_width`` is by-default set to **117** *mm*.
