Re: driving straight

Years of experience tells us that motor bias is not a significant factor.

Speed controller bias is a possibility -- make sure you're telling the software the truth about whether you're using Victors or Jaguars.

Another likely cause is imperfectly straight wheels. Depending on what your drivebase configuration is, more mechanical resistance on one side could also be a problem.
