Re: driving straight

This is quite common, it's near impossible for your robot to go perfectly straight on it's own. Even if your robot's weight was perfectly distributed the manufacturing process of any of your parts can have an effect.

If you have some encoders around, consider using them to make sure your wheels are traveling the correct distance and if not correcting their speed in code (see: closed-loop control systems).
