Hello,

The problem is with the wheels.
Your wheels are not of the same size, they are twisted and also not aligned.

If you fix these things it goes in a straight line.

Cheers

hey Klaus
Thank you for pointing. I have adjusted the dimensions and increased the weights of the base. it now works fine and move straight. however I felt that when I increase the velocities of joints i.e., from 10m/s to 50m/s then there is a very very slight tilt towards left. Is it normal?

Hello,

I cannot observe the left-ish tilting. But your should somewhat increase a little bit the inertia of the wheels, which is too small.

Cheers
