Re: Autonomous Help

are you testing it with a second (clone) bot?

if your drawing is somewhat to scale you might try moving your sensors further out, and move them so they are as far forward as possible

then have the center middle pair turn the bot mildly, and have the outer ones turn the bot harder

is it possible you have your sensors backwards, you turn the wrong way when they detect?

about your drivetrain - what are you using? if the drive motors are not consistant maybe you have something binding up? chain too tight? gears crushed into each other? the drivetrain should be pretty smooth when you turn the wheel with your hand - and you are right, it should be somewhat consistant when you make multiple runs with the same settings.
