Matt modified the program so the robot now uses a compass to retrieve its heading. The compass we are using is the LSM303D 3D compass and accelerometer carrier with a voltage regulator. We used this compass because Arduino has a built in library for it, making it easy to to program and use.
I, Patrick, reinforced the front set of cogs (left and right) by using plates instead of a strip. I also made platforms to connect the motors and mounts. I did this to reinforce them and to reduce/eliminate how much they bowed. I connected the front motors together; I did the same to the rear.
