Re: Spontaneous stopping
Check your thermal amp breakers on the power distribution board. We tripped them way too much because our gear ratios were whack, so the motors would stall a lot.

So, next time, listen to the breakers and it will "tick" then the robot will stop moving, then 30 seconds later, it would start back up. Feel the breakers and the motors if they are overheating. Our CIM became so hot that it literally burned someone.
