In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to square on a wall. The process requires the robot to crash into the wall, or another solid object on the field, and to "stick" on it. If the robot was to an angle to the wall, the final result of that crush will be that the robot is now fully perpendicular to the wall. As we say in competitions - the robot has squared or aligned itself.

"The devil is in the details". We are improving the Rubber band attachment with a Flywheel by introducing a few small, but important modifications that make the whole robot attachment more stable and reliable. With the conclusion of the series this attachment could be used as a basis for some very interesting STEM demonstrations on energy accumulation and conservation.
