Re: [FTC]: power issues

My team has encountered servos borrowed from other teams that just wouldn't power up with our robot, but nothing like this. You mention the servo coming to life but what about your motors?

I assume one part of your robot could be failing probably to normal wear and tear, I guess it could be the servo controller, motor controller, or power switch, or bad wires or battery? I suggest you make sure your wires to your controllers don't have exposed metal at the end, that's how we blew a couple of fuses.
