Take care to keep all of the payload higher than the top of the Pioneer LX. If any of the platform's sensors
get blocked, it won't be able to function normally. This is critical in the case of the laser rangefinder.
The height of your payload will affect the center of gravity, covered in the next section.

Center of Gravity
As much as possible, you should keep the payload center of gravity centered on the Pioneer LX, and as
low (close to the platform top) as possible. This will give you the best stability, particularly when crossing
thresholds or irregularities in the floor.
The following figure shows the center of gravity of the platform, without payload.
