This PR is for Humble, because I don't believe its compatible with Gazebo New Coke.
As of right now, I don't believe there is a difference between Rolling and Humble in this regards. That is, they share the same underlying Ubuntu 22.04, so the same Gazebo stuff should work on both (this also goes for Iron). But I could be wrong, maybe @ahcorde can comment more on this.

I've left a couple of things inline.
However, I'm now mostly concerned by the fact that this tutorial requires Gazebo Classic. Support for that is ending in January 2025, and so adding this tutorial now (even to Humble) seems like something of a mistake: https://classic.gazebosim.org/ . Is there a way to update this tutorial to use Ignition Fortress instead?
Pinging @azeey for thoughts as well.

Reading this, I find this statement confusing. Who created this model? Is this tutorial following off of another one? If that's the case, the fact that we require a previous tutorial should be marked in the prerequisites.

After talking about this with @azeey , this should be OK even though it is with old Gazebo. Hopefully we can update this to new Gazebo for Rolling.
