Ah. I was going to ask about that. Makes a whole lot of sense! This isn't the only robot you'll see in 2+2 mode...
But in 2+2 mode, doesn't the CG placement affect the pivot point? I thought you pivot about a point that's a sort of an "average" of 1.) the point between the traction wheels and 2.) the CG. Is that not right?
