Re: Problems turning

One of the best solutions to turning difficulties is very often overlooked.
Lower you gear ratio, significantly
It gives your robot the force to turn against friction, and saves energy while doing it.
Also, you will probably find it makes the robot much more controllable anyway.
This is just a suggestion, and seeing as it doesn't help you with weight either, might not be the best solution.
