I wonder... Check your speed controller output values in code. I'm thinking that maybe one of the motors might be getting an abnormally low value at full throttle, which would cause a draggy motor on that side. That would put the remaining motor working hard to overcome both the motor and the system...


Or maybe your joysticks need calibration.
The problem is we have had this issue on the competition bot from last year as well as this year's practice bot during the fall. It could be a motor, do you have any ideas on how we could quickly check if there is a draggy motor? And we use a X-Box controller to drive. Does it need to be calibrated? If so how?
