Re: Robot veers left when driving backwards!

I would look at the drivetrain. Last year out bot when we would drive forwards would go to the right, and veer to the left when going back. It would make a 10 point turn just by going back and forward.

I thought it was the motors having more power in the forward direction than in the backward direction, but it turns out that the CIMs have the same power forward and backward, and it was the drivetrain that was doing it.
