updated rover model files with bumper collision boxes

The problem:
The rovers keep driving up on top of cubes, which deviates from
the normal behaviour found in physical rovers.

The solution:
Bumper collision boxes have been added in front of the wheels to
prevent them from riding on top of cubes and getting stuck.

As a side effect of the more realistic simulation the rovers get stuck on piles of cubes just like the real rovers. Since there are no simulated robot wranglers to rescue them we place collision boxes in front of the front wheels to prevent the robots from climbing on top of the target cubes.
Moved and renamed the wheel guards so they are closer to the wheels. Renamed the collision boxes.
