Re: One Side Drives Faster than the Other.

Although, as posted before, the CIM's exhibit very little bias as produced, small factors such as slight mounting shifts, small binds in the motor itself, and other minor variables will affect the performance of different motors slightly. If the issue is not as simple or noticeable as a bind in one side or the other, you may want to try a different motor pair.

As far as software compensation, as also stated before, try adding a constant in front of you problem motor's output to adjust.

I would not recommend calibrating the Victors however. If the problem is not a static one, you will run into problems during autonomous, and it can create other unforeseen, mysterious issues. I speak from experience here...
