Re: Full Throttle Issues

Do the Jaguars start flashing red/yellow when they fail in the forwards direction?
They have a safety that trips if they pull too many amps, for example with a stalled or slowly moving CIM at full power as it tries to accelerate the mass of the robot.

If the robot was off the ground for the Autonomous test, then the motors were not stressed the way they are on the floor having to pull the weight of the robot. Does the robot behave in teleop when it's off the floor?
