Proper Otto Calibration

If you have carefully followed the instructions on how to build Otto and have made sure that all the servos are center (set at 90 degrees) before you attach the white arms. 

Then you are now at the very exciting moment where you check to see how Otto moves and dances and so you upload your first simple Blockly code.
:( What happened?

 Why did the legs and feet move out of position? 
Otto doesn’t walk straight and doesn’t move smoothly.

Otto needs adjustments, do not be disappointed and do not worry! This is completely normal and happens in every Otto built. This is the stage where you need to adjust the central positions of the servos using a process called “calibration”. This will only need to be done once per robot and then the correct positions will be remembered every time you turn on your Otto.
