 ## Calibration Tips

+The usage of chessboards can result in bad calibration results if multiple similar images are taken. We strongly recommend that teams use chArUco boards instead!

 Accurate camera calibration is required in order to get accurate pose measurements when using AprilTags and 3D mode. The tips below should help ensure success:
 
 01. Ensure the images you take have the target in different positions and angles, with as big of a difference between angles as possible. It is important to make sure the target overlay still lines up with the board while doing this. Tilt no more than 45 degrees.
