Add some warning that this only works for order = [1,2]. Current system throws a value error for order != [0,1,2] but will fail on order 0 with a "ValueError: bad value to Twist constructor" error. We should check and throw errors for order != [1,2].

Thanks for testing that

linear = self.spline_xyz.derivative(order)(t)
angular = self.spline_so3(
t, order
) # 1 is angular rate, 2 is angular acceleration
return Twist3(linear_vel, angular_vel)
return Twist3(linear, angular)
