Launch a demo

Demos are located in /usr/local/bin, not all of them are working but at least a few:

# Demo arms
m3_demo_arm_a2r5.py

# Demo hand
m3_demo_hand_h2r5.py

# Demo zlift (you might need to calibrate it, see below)
m3_demo_zlift_z2r1.py

# Bring up base
m3qa_omnibase_calibrate

Special note for Zlift

Every time the robot is power cycled, the zlift looses it's calibration. If you are planning to use the zlift, launch m3_demo_zlift_z2r1.py to calibrate it.

Please be aware the robot is gonna go down so make sure the arm and hands don't touch the floor.
