Re: Robot lose power when reverse directions?

Another problem we ran into one year was we had a screw on a victor mount touching one of the terminals. This resulted in a chassis ground that when going a different direction caused a reset of the full system due to the sudden ground out. So validate none of your electrical system has a connection to the frame. Could be a wire with a bare spot, or a screw against a terminal.
