I have a new maslow4. When I try and calibrate, some of the belts end up in a birds nest. Any help. I thought motors might be in wrong order?

Is it a Maslow 4 or Maslow 4.1. The Maslow 4 has ethernet connectors to the sensors, 4.1 uses jst type.  
Having the belts in the wrong order should not cause a problem with tangles, will cause a problem finding anchors.  
What version of software/firmware are you running? Go to Setup, then test and paste the result here.
