Motors aren't turning at the same speed. (Devastator + Romeo v2)

So I just got into this hobby and bought a devastator platform with a romeo v2 board and tested the robot's movements.
I noticed that my left motor turns faster than might right motor when I send the same value to both motors.

Is this normal? I don't think I made a mistake when assembling this robot.
Do I need an IMU to compensate? How do I make my robot to move in a straight line when I want it to?

Does anyone have the same problem and how do you overcome it?

To solve the problem, you need to use the motor with encoder to make it a close loop system that make the motors rotate with same speed. userHeadPic robert.chen
