Re: Driving Straight Error

Something else to consider is that the motors spin in different directions to cause motion either forward or backwards.

The CIM motors are very close in speed when run full CW and full CCW but there is always difference which account for you encoder numbers.

Try running the robot at full speed in a circle and record results.
