Hi,
there are two solutions :
1. (the simple one)
The DC motors only seem to be the same but they are not.
Add resistors to one motor until your robot moves straight.
Determining wich motor should be connected to the resistors
must be done by expermiment.
2.
Add a shaft encoder and use a PWM software driver to control
the servo motors.
A good source of information is the book
Jones/Flynn: Mobile Robots: Inspiration to Implementation
AK Peters ISBN 1-56881-011-3
Your problems are discussed in detail here.
