Re: Alignment of Robot and Tote Chute

If you have a camera, I suggest using it to help line up. As for what to track, either focus on the red (or blue) of the chute itself, or possibly the metal rods underneath that support it.

I suppose that ultimately, unless you have enough time to implement and test automatic alignment, your best bet is just as much practice as possible.
