Oh, and the robot drifts. A lot.

We had the same result in similar testing. Our base was being driven from a battery, so no speed control. We think some of our initial slowness during turning was because we were "Flooring it" and breaking traction.
Can't wait to get more wheels in so we can test with 6 wheels, and most importantly, with at trailer.
