I beg to differ. I can tell you, as will many other teams, it is hardly imperceptible. In 2002, we had to angle our robot a good distance to the side of the goals, just so that when we got to them, we would have drifted enough to be kind of straight. Last year, the robot never went straight either. Im not talking about slow drifting, Im talking about pretty sharp movement. Sure, you can correct it in programming, but coming from a driver, if you dont, its extremely annoying.
