How do I calibrate the HIVE structure?

To calibrate the HIVE structure, you can follow the steps shown in the video How to Calibrate the BIOBUZZ Hive Structure | FIRST Tech Challenge — 0:04 to 2:34 — FUN Robotics Network. The video demonstrates a setup with three nectar and one pollen, and then tests the HIVE by tossing in a second pollen to see if it tips.

However, please note that this is just an example and not an official rule. For official calibration requirements, refer to the FTC BIOBUZZ Competition Manual.

According to the video, to make adjustments to your HIVE setup, you can take apart the butterfly clip, access additional washers inside, and add or remove washers to make the weight correct.

Remember to check the official FTC BIOBUZZ Competition Manual for the most accurate and up-to-date information on HIVE structure calibration.
