It's not a huge deal for me. I just reverted to the October 2016 release and all works great (other than the grid lines).
I had the Oct '16 install .msi on another computer but are the previous releases available on this site? I didn't see them when I looked.

If this is to involved then nevermind.
I'll take another stab at it tomorrow after school.

But it still works great with last October's release. And having the micro-servo on the camera for vertical detection made a huge difference. iRobot's head is on a tilt so it sees at different heights as it tracks left to right.
I hope this helps you a little. Sorry it took a couple of days. School has been very demanding already.
So all I need is the latest update? I'll give it a try this weekend if I get time. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to make a slick, tool-less access cover for the pedestal that doesn't catch on anyone's purse or coat-strap. I'm thinking some black Velcro might do the trick.
neodymium magnets can also be used to tightly hold a panel in place, but opens easily with proper leverage. I use a couple to hold the access door to my electric panel in the basement closed.
