Make Your Own Mats

Each square should be 15 cm x 15 cm. This is equivalent to 5.9 inches x 5.9 inches. This is important because the distance the Bee Bot moves for forward and backward commands is 15 cm. This is why the size of the square is so important. 

If the squares are too small, the Bee Bot will move into the next square throwing off its placement.

If the squares are too big, the Bee Bot won't make it into the squares fully, thus shorting the distance and throwing off its placement.
