Re: Robot Power Issues
404,
The stop at 1:22 follows a sharp turn. During turns, if your robot has significant friction, the current skyrockets. The Crio software monitors your battery voltage and when the voltage falls (or is pulled down) to 5.5 volts, the Crio output is disabled. If the battery falls to 4.5 volts for some time, the regulator in the PD will stop. When this occurs, the camera, radio and Crio all will reboot. The Crio takes anywhere from 20 seconds on up and the radio takes 52 seconds to reboot.
While I can't really see your drive, it appears to be standard tank with four wheels. In this type of drive, the motors are in near stall conditions in turns. Add several turns to each match and the battery is nearly exhausted near the end of the match. If you are using four CIMs, that is over 400 amps during the turn. Omni wheels are one way to eliminate this frictional loss.
