How do I calibrate the HIVE structure?

To calibrate the HIVE structure, follow the calibration process outlined in Section 12.4 of the Competition Manual.
The process involves iterating to achieve the results specified in the Calibration Requirements, which include:
- [3] Nectar + [1] Pollen: 2nd Pollen is “Tossed In” - No Tip - Necessary
- [3] Nectar + [2] Pollen: 3rd Pollen is Gently Placed - Tip - Preferred
- [3] Nectar + [2] Pollen: 3rd Pollen is “Tossed In” - Tip - Necessary
- [0] Nectar + [6] Pollen: 7th Pollen is “Tossed In” - No Tip - Necessary
- [0] Nectar + [7] Pollen: 8th Pollen is Gently Placed - Tip - Preferred
- [0] Nectar + [7] Pollen: 8th Pollen is “Tossed In” - Tip - Necessary

You can add or remove Ballast Washers from the Cells to make them easier or harder to tip, and "tweak" the attachment of a Cell if necessary.
Rule 12.4
Also, see the FTC Field Mitigation Guide for troubleshooting tips if you encounter issues during calibration.
