Re: One Side Drives Faster than the Other.

sure you can create some crazy algorithm to get both motors output to be almost equal at any given rpm__ because the motor's difference between the motors changes with the rpm__ but that means that the robot will go slower that full capacity.

also the problem you have can be fixed by facing both motors the same direction then run a shaft paralel to one of the motors and have gears and chains reverse the rotation from clockwise to counter-clockwise

it's complicated maybe if i get the time ill take a pic of how we did it to show you; and this way you don't loose any speed
