Re: You know what sucks?
Vacuum's suck... regardless, our 2004 robot did that; it horribly drifted towards one side (I think it was left), but when thrown into reverse, it went straight. I've always thought this to be a mechanical problem, so I took our gearboxes apart and saw that the coupling between the motor and gearbox was grinding against the housing. I got rid of all the friction (and these were off the shelf gearboxes) and it still had that horrible drift... Anyways, lots of driver practice fixed the problem -- so stop pointing fingers at the mechanics and programmers!!! =D
