That's pretty cunning! I see that you use two sets of tracks for each
side of the bot. Does this mean that you get some slipping on various
surfaces, hence cluttering the direction vector calculated?
Also, did you spend much time calibrating the direction traveled based
the drive difference? I can imagine that driving one 360° circle and
noting the difference should suffice?
