Have you guys got short memories !! :)

The Front Right wheel motor was pulling approx 3x higher current than the other wheels - so - to ensure the problem didnt get any worse, they now drive backwards, with the FR wheel locked - but they rotate it about 10% of the time to clear any build up infront of it. Hence the trench-lump-trench-lump look to it's tracks
