Since the true track width is measured from the centre of one wheel to the centre of the other, we could not use the caliper to measure it directly and therefore had to do some calculations.
To calculate the true track width, we had to calculate the average wheel thickness. This was done by measuring the outer and inner track widths, subtracting them and dividing by two.

The extended arm with two pointers made it easier to align the robot to the line on the ground.
### Conclusion to first experiment
Play in the wheels is a non-systematic error, as it is determined by chance and not a consistent recurring inaccuracy. An example of a systematic error, would be if one wheel had a slightly larger diameter than the other, or that one of the electrical motors
## Calibrate the wheel diameter and the track width
To calibrate the robots travel distance according to the wheel diameter we modified the code from PilotSquare.java as follows:
