Nyet. Measure voltage drop along the wire - from power board to input screw, and output screw to motor connector - while passing high current. Only way to spot a bad wire (in this case) is under load. An Ohmmeter will steer you wrong.
When they are 'locked up' there's no current draw, you won't see anything of interest - too late in the process.
I think 1676 will be visiting 11 soon, we'll look at the practice bot with you then.
Back to basics. Maybe build a test platform without external influences - just the bare basics - and see if you can reproduce it on the bench. Time-consuming, yes, but ultimately can be valuable. And it'll keep the students involved.

That's fine with me.
I just want nice...clean...functional solutions.
We ran this robot off the ground for 20 minutes at a clip under test and it was fine, though in fairness I was measuring from the battery negative to the Jaguar positive input terminal. Not actually measuring the difference across the wires.
However, again...if there is a problem here we've missed under test...then let's remove it.
I don't like all the effort we had to pump into this any more than anyone else.
