We still haven't worked out our motor response curve compensation functions, so the steering is primitive at best. Everyone tells me my fears are unjustified? Are they?
i think you are doing fine! Our team just got the robot moving two days ago, the arm is in construction, and so it the plow.... we havent evey touched autonomous

no worries mate, things will work out
