Re: One Side Drives Faster than the Other.
Craig,
All of the above suggestions are great but no one mentioned that wiring might be an issue. If you have desigened the robot with all of your electrical on one side and there is significant length of wire feeding the side that is slow, you may be experiencing current reduction in that motor set. If you are using #12 wire there could be a significant drop in the wire.
