Re: Robot won't go straight
Is is most likely caused by the way motors are built. They are optimized to turn one way (the brushes inside are slightly angled). If you mount both motors with the body pointing towards the inside and the output pointing away from the robot, one will be turning the opposite way than the other. The one that is turning "backwards" will turn slower than the other one.
The only way (that I know of) to correct this is programming: Scale the faster side down a little bit. You will loose a little bit of speed though. So it's up to you, easier to drive vs. performance. |
