Re: Robot doesn't drive straight

Check the current going through to each side as well, significantly more current draw to one side would seem to indicate a mechanical alignment problem somewhere within the system, especially if using any sort of chain drive.

Also when the Robot is not on the ground, eg up on blocks of some sort, are the wheels/drivetrain spinning at the same rate?
