[nagdu] walking in to objects

Sun Apr 15 16:27:29 UTC 2012

When you do the set up situations, then, you should try to make it a little 
different every time. Try to have enough objects that you can put them in 
different patterns and use some of them but not others. Also try to have a 
couple of different places that you do it. Also, what kind of correction are 
you using?
