Re: Slowing down the drive motors

Is there a way to code the robot so that I can still use a standard tank drive but slow the motors down? I hope I'm being clear enough as to what the problem is but I can clarify if I'm not <3
Can you post your code so I can see how you are implementing the drive code currently? Please use code tags when doing this. To use a code tag place a [/code] at the end of the code and a [code] at the beginning.
