Re: Robot lose power when reverse directions?
What's the gear ratio and wheel size on your drivetrain? Your problem might be that you're geared too fast. More speed = less torque = more amps to turn and more time to decel from full forward to stop to reverse. Both of those things will drain your battery quicker and drop the voltage farther. You should really be geared for something less than 15 feet per second.
Also, was this happening on a fully charged battery, or a mostly dead one?
