Re: resetting window motor driven arm after each round
Kid,
We wire our motors with Power lock connectors and we have modified a 12 volt drill so that the output of the trigger comes out on Power Locks. When we need to drive a motor, we simply disconnect it from the robot, attach to the drill and press the trigger. We use this method throughout the season to test motors and drive components for which software has not caught up.
