Description

This is a thing that neat quad-copter demos do all of the time. Move a balanced and inverted pendulum between two points in 3D space, by applying a force to the base. The force can push on the pendulum, but not pull.

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by surveying the repository for existing demo implementations and trajectory-optimization examples, then define how a 3D inverted pendulum moves between two points while the base applies force only in the pushing direction; done means the new demo runs and exhibits that behavior.
