Description

I have noticed that the weight of the robot tends to induce negative wheel camber.
The video below shows how a small rotation of the motor in its mount can cause this.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached video and the reported interaction between the robot's weight, motor mount rotation, and negative wheel camber. Determine the intended wheel and motor-mount behavior before proposing a mechanical change; the issue does not identify files, tests, or a specific acceptance criterion.
