Two calibration stages?

I'm confused about the calibrations needed for the Developer Kit. There are two stages. One without the legs. One with the legs.


The one with the legs is much more streamlined because it can be initialized via the mobile app really quickly. If we skipped the first "calibration", will the mobile app calibration take care of it? I'm confused why there are two stages.


I'm also asking because I'm in a weird situation where someone else set up the software and did the calibration, but the Bittle wouldn't walk normally. So now I'm trying to debug their setup. I re-assembled the robot from scratch, but the software is already uploaded to it I think. Can I just skip to the mobile app calibration or do I have to the other step?

It does manage to crawl, but with a rightward lean. Otherwise, on the carpet it falls:


The carpet is almost as hard as the table, so I'm not sure why it makes such a big difference.


Here's the calibration:

I made sure it was all right angles.


It does okay on the flat tile floor.
