Actually, Alan is correct. The directional bias on a CIM, although not zero, is so negligible that it is almost unmeasurable.

What is far more common, historically, is that one side of your robot will have more friction than the other. However, this year we have added Jaguars into the mix. The neutral PWM for a Victor and a Jaguar are not the same and the software must match the hardware or you will see significant discrepancies.

Mike
