These simple, GameObject-less shapes allow for collision detection without requiring simulation (i.e., without calling Physics.Simulate).

However, unlike ROS# our messages are transmitted in ROS's own serialization format, eliminating the JSON encoding/decoding step for some significant performance improvements.
