What Mark said.

And if it doesn't work properly, you may have to tweak your wiring or your code or your wheel mounting.

The best way to debug is to put the bot up on blocks so the wheels are off the ground.

To slide to the left, each of the front wheels should be turning clockwise* and each of the back wheels should be turning counterclockwise*.

Another way to say the same thing: the front right and back left wheels should be driving forward, and the front left and back right wheels should be driving backward.



* when facing the wheel in question
