Re: Intermittent connection on field only

Mike,
The only way to recover is to wait. The way to prevent over current fault is to limit the demand either in software or driver training under all conditions. Without watching your robot or knowing your drive train I can only speculate. Some of the more common factors are improper gear ratio choice, sticky tires, sharp turns, transmission losses, misalignment of chains and sprockets, binding drive parts, improper use of bearings or cantilevered drive shafts.
