robot design

i am wondering why my manual control robot, not moving straight. is it because of the design or wrong in placement of wheel? in my design, i put wheel at the back. one at the left side, and another one at the right side. and then, i put ball transfer at the front side. any idea??

    Give your schematic or something else to tell us about your bot.
    A robot might not move in a straight line due to a hundred reasons..

    Well, specifically, the motor driver circuit might be faulty. Or, the problem might be in your remote, as you've said it's a manual bot. I'd say, most probably problem is with the remote. Check if the motor works fine separately, ie, without the robot. If it works fine, then remote is malfunctioning.

    It may be that, when you press forward button, some other signal like left or right may be transmitted by the remote. That mihgt be the reason for the awkward movement. Check it up.

    I had gone through your blog !

    It a nice idea. I have a doubt , are you using the pneumatic cylinders to drive your robo ?

    If so the most possible reason why your robot is not moving in a straight path is :: ' the difference in the pressures of the pneumatic cylinders '

    If your robot is not using these cylinders to drive, do mention the driving mechanism here.
