Make motors run the same speed using encoders
does anyone have any ideas on how to use encoders to make the motors run at the same speed when going straight? I'm currently working on a code to make the robot go the same direction as you press the joystick no matter which way it is facing and this seems to be the biggest problem since the robot will drift left or right. I'm having a hard time with this since the motors shouldn't be running at the exact same speed when pressing slightly left or right.

(We will be using arcade drive)

Any help would be appreciated
