The distance between the bars must be larger than the footprint of your robot.

marker.
A few centimeters between all the types of markers should make docking possible.
Determine during commissioning if more space is required.
For further information on markers, contact your distributor for the guide How
to create and dock to V-markers, VL-markers, L-markers, and Bar-markers.
To create a marker, see Creating markers on page143.
9.9 Creating positions
Positions are defined as X-Y coordinates on a map that mark locations where you want the
robot to travel to. Positions mark a point on the map the robot travels to. To reach a
position, the robot must be correctly localized on the map—see Localization on page73.
Positions are used either as destination positions or as waypoints on a route that you want to
use in missions.The robot does not compare its position to a physical entity, making them
less accurate than markers.
Generally, positions are used to mark where robots should wait when they are idle, which
points robots must pass through along a route, or as destinations you often want to send the
robots to.
