Look in your kit of parts received on kickoff day for the grey section of light reflective tape, hook up the camera properly so you can see the image on your drivers station screen, and attach a light source near the lens of the camera, then aim it directly at the reflective tape (there are different sections of that type of tape on each alliance wall including the hot side flip boxes), look at the image on your screen (the tape will reflect back the light based on the color of the light source you actually aim at it). Then read up on programming a bunch.

Good Luck!
