...So, any help that can be given, be it through creative software(in PBASIC? Yes, it is possible...) or a compensation built into the machine itself, will do nothing but help you in the long run....
Not necessarily. If your team and your engineers in particular are spending time working out this 'improvement' rather than fixing your lift mechanism or even worse, such changes are being stolen from drive time, your team will be farther behind in the long run!
Finally, I am pretty confident that most teams with this 'my robot wont drive straight' illness have issues unrelated to the variations in motor power output between CW & CCW (wheel alignment, weight distribution, wire lead lengths, drive mechanism variations, etc.).
For what it's worth.
