That's unusual. Most robots have independent drive motors for the left and right sides of the chassis. Relatively few teams implement steerable wheels.

If you give more details about what those motors are connected to, both mechanically and electrically, we'll be better able to help you work out your control issues. What modifications to the default code have you made, if any? The color-tracking part of it is definitely not set up to handle mechanical steering.

(By the way, the joystick trigger is usually considered to be on the front.)
