Joe is right, simple planning, coding, or practice (or any compbination thereof) are the best solutions to this problem.

You lose the same amount of motor power through programming a scale as through human compensation, because either will match the speed of the motors to the slower one. Programming is just a bit more consistent.

Also finding a way to mount the motors in the same direction is not that hard, it just may take a bit of planning and space. This should not be a problem, since many teams prefer to construct a drive base early on in the six weeks of construction.

Best of luck
