driving straight - Chief Delphi

Gracious Professionalism is being embarrassed at an event by an underperforming catstrophe of a robot, yet standing and applauding for every award because you realize that as hard as you worked that season, the other team must have worked even harder to get their achievements. - Taylor [more]

I have to disagree with that. We had a drivebase a number of years ago that could go perfectly straight even when only being driven by the motors on one side. If there is nothing causing binding in the drivetrain, the most important factor for how straight a robot will go is the alignment of the wheels.
