Overview

When idle, the robot stays in the home position above the trash. It is difficult to inspect the gantry/pipettes from that position and currently the only way I can move the gantry to the front without manually doing it is to go through the initial Change Pipette process. Would be great to have a button on the Opentrons App that would move the gantry to the front of the robot.

Implementation details

A button very similar to the HOME button already on the Opentrons App, but says FRONT that when clicked moves the gantry to the front of the robot (probably after homing first). Then users can press the HOME button to return it back to the trash.
