Re: Banebots RS-775 Case Short
There were no fireworks when we tried this. For motor #1, there was a very quiet "pop" sound at first, then nothing. For motor #2, there was a bit of an arc when the motor lead was attached, then nothing. For motor #3, there was no visible or audible reaction at all. The suggestion to use a 40A breaker is a good one.
2 of the 3 775s on our first robot were affected by the case short. Prior to doing the "zapping", we were measuring ~8 megaohms between the negative battery lead and conductive parts of our chassis. After removing each affected motor and applying the fix, we now max out the ohmmeter (>30 megaohm resistance).
