Re: Robot refuses to turn!

You are not getting full torque to the wheels, simple as that.

Either you are not powering both motors (all 4 really) or you are do not have the gearboxes build right or your chain is eating up the torque or something.

Traction is not the problem.

Hunt down the torque loss.
