Problems with Autonomous due to motor setup
We are using two drill motors that are facing opposite directions to run a 4 wheel drive chain setup. Problem is that the drill motors run at a different speed in forwards than reverse. So when we try to run our autonomous to go straight into the movable goal, it eventually begins to curve to the right and overshootes the goal after moving it.

Does anyone have any suggestions to our problem?
