: Is there a significant difference in the efficiency of the drill motor spinning clockwise vs. counterclockwise? On our 2000 Robot, which had a tank-drive setup, we had to scale the output of one motor when the robot was going forward, and the other motor going when it was going backward. Is this typical?

I've noticed this same thing in the machines that I've worked on...and I remember seeing other teams comment on it here before...your best solution, rather than scaling, is find a way where the motors can be positioned so they are both going the same direction when going forward or reverse.
