Re: Robot doesn't turn in high gear

Rusty,
In addition to switching to the small CIMS, another quick fix maybe to recheck your weight distribution. Slide some of your heavier components (battery, compressor) around fore and aft relative to your drive wheels and see what effect this has. Weight distribution has a huge effect on driving characteristics of a machine. Good luck.
