Re: Robot mysteriously stopping and backing up
When we were first testing our line tracking, this happened briefly. I attributed it to a low battery (it was about 11.5 when it wasn't moving), so possibly one wheel was moving and the other one wasn't, and since we are using high traction wheels it caused the whole robot to drive backwards. After replacing the battery with a fresh one, this has not happened again.
