Magnetometer re-calibration is theoretically only necessary when changes to the structure of the robot are made which add/remove metals.

As noted on the wiki, "Initial Gyro Calibration" (press/hold the cal button) is encouraged whenever the ambient temperature changes significantly. This should likely be done when first arriving at an event, and is expected to be the only per-event calibration required unless mods like those mentioned above occur.
