Re: Robot "kicks out" when it goes right

I think your issue is either the program and Jagaur, a faulty jagaur, or possibly you digital side car.

Make sure that your program says slowly increase its speed as you move the controller to the right. I am not a programmer so I don't know exactly what that would be called. I think because it jerks to the right and turns off that the jagaur is just getting over loaded. I know that if we jerk our robot forward and backwords that the jaqaurs have to restart sometimes. This may be whats happening. So I would try NOT disabling the robot after this happen's, wait at least a 10 seconds (may work better if left for a longer period of time) and try moving again.

The other issue might be that your jaguar is thinking itshould be put at full power, when it shouldn't be. I'm not sure if there is a "reset" for them or not, but if there is try reseting your jaguar. If that doesn't work try replacing it with a new one.

The digital side car might be telling the jaquar to go at full power, instead of steadily increasing like it should. Try "reset" if there is one, if not replace it.

Most likely the issue is the first one, then maybe second, if not try the third. I am not a programmer of Electrical person, so dont trust me 100% with this. But I have enough experience with both to help troubleshoot. Good luck! Hope this works out for you!
