Bob Fay's suggestion is a good one, here's another option:
Drive both sides with a single motor via a differential, add a rack + pinion
steering to the front, or, if you have a second differential, create a
mixing
differential for a skid-steered robot. Now, it will go straight for sure.
Add
a rotation sensor to measure distance. Once you start the turn, you go the
appropriate distance to turn 180 degrees, straighten the steering, and then
go the right rotations to go 15 feet.
