How do I make the micromouse go straight? Most the time it curves to the left or right.

Hello

We have an updated component for v4 that applies a fixed amount of difference in motor speeds allowing the micromouse to go straight. However if you are saying that your micromouse goes to the left and right then this will not solve your problem. Maybe check the gearboxes are well greased and running freely.

If you are still having problems then one way around this would be to use the line follower sensors. Another way would be to fit encoders to the wheels and modify the drive routines to allow for feedback from the drive wheels.
