But with Mindstorms there are usually several different ways of overcoming

basically lets one motor control forward/back movement, and the other
control turning. It is explained quite nicely here:

Even this thing may drift to one side because the rotation motor
may "drift" slowly.  But you can block it with the clutch gear,
then it needs real some motor force to turn.
