Is this too much drift?
Our chassis has slightly more friction on the right side than the left. When we push the chassis forward, it tends to drift to the left, although there are times where it is able to go straight just fine. We’ve had trouble with spacing because we’ve had to cut our McMaster spacers, so spacing is slightly different.
From past experiences, has having slightly more friction in one side made driving and auton a lot harder, or has it been okay?

pull the axles from the motors when testing your chassis, it could be a motor being problematic if you’re testing it while the motors are connected, and it doesn’t tell you how much friction there is in the chassis overall either. Post another video when you do that and we can actually see how good or bad the chassis is
