What is the typical acceleration and deceleration rates for the Amiga? If there isn’t a typical value, can you share the maximum capabilities (quickest rates) of the machine? Thanks in advance.

Hello, @sbiggs, thanks for your question! Do you mind sharing more context on why you are concerned with acceleration?

On our side, you may have see that our robots are limited to 500 ft/min speed. Additionally, when you navigate to your dashboard settings, you will find a `max_accel` parameter set to 3.2 by default. That value is in `rad/s**2` for the robot turning on its axis, but apply for linear acceleration as well. If you do the math, you will see that you can reach the robot max speed in less than 1 second.

Does that answer your question?
