These are the two very relevant points.

1. If the robot doesn't go straight, there is something wrong with the mechanical part of the robot. You must fix that. A gyro or encoder or any programming solution will only reduce the robots performance.

2. As rookies, with no programming mentor, stay away from the complex and advanced solution and go towards the simple. Not to discourage you, but get the mechanicals right first.

It is not unusual for rookies to make this mistake. Experienced teams know this already.
