Hey I need some help,

This year our team decided on meccanum wheels and we created a working code, however today our wheels started then stopped briefly then starts again even if we are pushing the joystick continuously. its like it stutters.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. :D

Step 1: check your battery voltage.

Do you have a vi you could show? You don't have to, but I have found that either 1( battery is low on charge or 2( you code is too large and cluttered and could A( be submitting conflicting values or B( causing a lag. B may not actually happen but we had this problem yesterday and a combination of the two fixed it for us. Good luck!

I second Alan's advice regarding battery. I also believe that your (I assume) 40A circuit breakers feeding (I assume) CIM motors are tripping.

These may or may not be related.
