Re: Robot refuses to turn!

Ed,
I guess we are at that point that we need a real photo of the wheels. As Joe has suggested, there might be an issue with the axle/transmission/wheel interfaces. It is the kind of thing we can look at and have a "I should have had a V8" moment and know exactly what is wrong. For instance, an unsupported shaft can have extreme friction in turns that does not exist in straight driving.
