Our kitbot testbed is put together with two-wheel drive. It was uncontrollably "skiddy", especially with the single joystick code. So we just added a bunch of ballast, and now it drives like a dream.

Our next hurdle is color calibration. Getting the right color vision targets and sufficient light on the practice field is proving to be a challenge at the moment.
