Re: Backwards motor

Maybe not, maybe so. There have been reported differences in both motors and speed controls between forward and revers. When you are driving in the forward direction, make sure allyour pwm values are above 127. This should yield better performance. If your robot still doesn't go straight, manually fine tune the software or live with it because the bias is in the motor or your mechanical drive system.
