Re: Robot doesn't drive straight

We've run into a similar problem; when runnning forward, the left side of our robot started before the right side, and we believe attained a higher speed. The same problem occurred in reverse, only with the sides switched. I'm thinking their is either a problem with the victors' calibration or that the CIMs have some kind of motor bias (this could have to do with the fact that motors on opposite sides spin opposite directions to drive the robot the same direction). Is there any way to correct this through hardware, since we believe we already know a few potential software fixes?
