Does your robot go in a straight line?
Here is a quick fix.

If the robot start rolling in circle you can add a "blob" of glue to the weak motor.

To know the weak motor, simply put the robot on the floor... if it goes to the left add some glue on the left motor. This will make a bigger shaft and makes the left side travel a longer distance and correct the path of the robot.

It does not mean that you motor is weak, it could just be the angle of your motor.
