Re: basic question on using CIMs with TB Minis

CIMs do have motor bias, as other motors do. Generally CIMs are pretty well balanced, but it has been known to happen. TBs, as far as I know, shouldn't cause bias "by design". I would check lubrication/assembly of them or motor controller calibration.

There are a lots of ways to control the outputs and make them match each other. "Drive Straight" code is very common for teams to use.
