We can conclude that gaining momentum is not necessarily an advantage for the robot as it comes with a cost of increased vulnerability to its driving behavior. If we were to maintain control of the robot, it would require a significant amount of code to prevent the robot of going into a spin. This could be done using a PID controller to perform frequent corrections to the power distributed to the wheels.
