It would be ideal to get another mecnum drive train, like other have said, but if all else fails you can also think through scenarios in your head. Say you have a stack on your bot witch ads weight to the front and you want to strafe left. Reason your way through this problem. If you just give the command to strafe left the bot will tend to be slower on the front of the bot(more weight from totes) So you will have to add in some left rotation to compensate.

Just thinking through things like this will make you a much better driver.
