The robot is not completing the ramp up to speed. This solution you have proposed is, if I understand correctly, helpful only if the motor does not have enough power to get up to speed. This is not the case as the robot is off the floor and the wheels are free spinning. As i increase the P value it climbs, but then begins to behave erraticly and the motor values jump quickly between 1 and -1.
Leave the P value at a value thay does produce erractic behavior, such as the value above, and increasing the I anywhere from 1000 to 1 will also produce erractic rate changes and sometimes stop producing a motor output.
