Hi,
I found that one of my Mindstorms motors is a bit stronger
than the other. The robot should go forward, but slightly
diverts right. When I exchange the motors and nothing else,
it diverts to the left. Does anybody else have similar
experiece? What is a normal lifetime for these motors?
Pavel.

| (...) That's just how mechanical parts are - all parts are slightly different. I've used a differential between the two motors, and then measured the position difference with a rotation sensor. In NQC I just make one of the two motors "float" when (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| This is an excerpt from an "almost" real-life experience: Lalala, look mom! My robot has four motors! Two on each side to power the tank treads.
