##### start balancing - not effect of push
We tried calibrating the robot while it was resting against the door to the bathroom, as the door was perpendicular to the floor and flat. This allowed the robot to calibrate for a more steady, upright position - for instance, this reduced the risk of us accidentally tilting the robot when pushing the start button after (during) calibration. We placed the robot at a small angle to the door (see Video 2), as we assessed that the robot had too much weight in the front because of its sensor. This worked better, but the robot seemed to be clinging to the door.
We turned on the light - see video
We tried a stiber angle which worked much better - see video
We tried to get rid of the weight difference that came from the bouncing wires and therefore 'rebuild' the robot.

#### surface
The light was on.
The light sensor returns very different measurements of different colors, and the bathroom floor has lots of colors (see picture). Therefore we tried the big black thing which gives a completely different setting. Both the color of the surface (which is now black instead of blue-ish) and the consistency in the color (completely black instead of different blue-ish colors) and how even the surface is, as the black thing is very uneven.
