I am trying to make my robot move like a differential wheeled robot, where the wheels on one side rotate forward and the wheels on the other side rotate backward in order to turn. However, instead of turning, it just goes straight. I have experimented with different friction values on the wheel material, as well as different collision approximations. Does anyone have any tips on how to solve this issue?
