Hello, I would like to do bench testing with the amiga and I was just wondering if anyone had done this before and had suggestions on the easiest way to lift the entire amiga up, just by an inch or so. I was considering a forklift, but was concerned about the balance of this. Has anyone used a jack or multiple jacks to lift all four wheels at once?
I intend to do some tests with the motors, in a workshop, and I don’t want the robot to run off or constantly monitor it’s trajectory while I’m focused on something else.
