Geez...we are fighting the same thing. "Oversteer". Our test bot looks like it's got a BAC of 1.1% driving toward the tetra... What did you try and do to ballast the robot oversteer? We've added some EXP joystick code, lowered the max output of the PWM to like 145 forward, and played with the varible "steer_comp"...but it's still seems uncontrollably wacky or drunk...Any idea you can share?
