 The setup shown in this video comprises two vertical steps
constructed to demonstrate centre of mass reallocation using
the SAS. The first step measures approximately 320mm in
height whilst the second 110mm. The MTR climbs the first
step without reconfiguring.  In order to climb the second
one the SAS is engaged and the centre of mass of the vehicle
is shifted forwards. Following that, the rover climbs the
second step and then traverses laterally.
