For some reason any rover that I try to use the rover autopilot on will go in circles whenever I turn the autopilot on.

Ok I figured it out. Apparently I built it wrong. I should have set up the core of it to be facing forwards rather than sitting on top. when It's sitting on flat ground the marker will be over the top of the ball. :/

Thus making the longitudinal axis of the mechjeb component align with the
longitudinal axis of the rover... :p

Where does the part you control the rover from point ? If it is not pointing forward then it can't work.

I just tried pointing it in the right direction (which I didn't know I had to do that as I thought mechjeb would do it on its own) and it now turns and starts heading to the right.(which is 90 degrees clockwise from the direction I wanted it to head in).

If the rover is normally on the ground with it's wheels and the navball
doesn't look the same it would for a plane that's leveled with the
horizon and 0° pitch then the rover AP will be confused too.

No, I think he's saying that the longitudinal axis of the mechjeb component
needs to align with the longitudinal axis of the rover. Not that the rover
needs to be on flat ground for Mechjeb to work.
If you're doing it right, then when you build the rover on the runway at
KSP, the navball should show a heading of 090 degrees, and be level on the
horizon.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Do you mean that the mechjeb radio
looking thing should be level?

The AR202 case? Not sure, never used it. The first thing I do is add
Mechjeb to all command modules.

Yes that's exactly what I'm talking about.
