How do I calibrate the robot and what should I check if positioning fails?

For successful calibration, ensure the robotic chamber is correctly aligned with yellow markings facing forward. • Verify that the magnetic chessboard is not flipped relative to the base. • Calibration should be performed in a well-lit environment so the initialization outlines are visible. • If you detect 'phantom' pieces or misidentified squares, lift the piece and replace it; a software fix for this detection issue is in development.

What is the process for calibrating robots? Place the robot on the board corners marked by yellow illustrations. A successful calibration is indicated by a steady green light. Strong lighting or direct sunlight can interfere with the light sensors and cause failure.

How do I fix a robot that fails to calibrate normally? If a robot struggles to calibrate, you can perform a triple-tap on the robot to bypass the sensor requirement and force a green light state. You must ensure the robot is manually aligned with the corner markings when doing this.
