Robot driting without explanation

My team is 2252s, and we’re having issues with the robot drifting for some strange reason. We’ve re-built the robot to try to fix it, but it still drifts. We change the programming and still the same results. Is there some other thing we can do to try to fix it.

Can we see a picture of your robot?
Also, it is almost always friction (there are plenty of forum posts about this)

Or a dead motor

You can tell if this is your issue by running each motor individually through the devices screen.

Try making the friction on one side looser or tighter to match the other side

Our robot sometimes drifted because the shaft connecting the wheel and motor became loose, so one of the sides became “underpowered”. But mostly it’s because of friction, try adding bearings to your structure

Today we will meet up, I will send you a picture then.

Was it drifting in auton or driver?

If you can reply telling us when it drifts/send us a picture or video of it, I’m sure someone can help your team out!!!
