a)the drill motors are timed the same-What this means is that the drills will turn faster in one direction and slower the other way. This means if you have one motor wired differntly from the other your robot will have a tendancy to go off in one direction.


Yes that is true, however just as important was the fact that we were unable to get a good contact between the gear box and the motor due to positioning resulting in lots of sliping and grinding
