You're absolutely sure it's not a sticky wheel?

well, I'm not a precious hardware guru, :) but I find it hard to believe the small
difference in the electronics would make a noticeable difference in the output of
the motors.

If you're using a treaded tankbot, there are several factors in the construction of
the robot that could cause one side to be harder to turn than the other.

Here's an easy test.  Try switching the wires, so the "A" output drives the "C"
motor.  If your assumption is correct, the robot should turn the other direction,
right?
