Re: FIRST Cim problem

Is software telling the motor to go 100% forward, 100% backwards, or what? And what does the motor controller status light say it's getting? (Basically, is the motor controller and control system working?)

To add on to my initial questions, when the robot is off and unplugged, can you turn the problematic drivetrain by hand? How many turns, and how hard is it to turn?
