I misunderstood your original post when you said "Our hopes were dashed when it pulled the batteries way down and refused to do much moving." I read that to mean the robot wouldn't go forward.

If the primary problem is turning, then your problem is most likely a combination of (a) need more gear reduction (as others have posted) and (b) 1/8" drop is not sufficient for pneumatic tires
