Re: Buggy BAG Motors

For both of our problematic motors, we ran for several hours before the issue appeared. Once it appeared, we observed a ~1 in 5 chance that the motor would not start from a given stopped position. The motors were assembled and disassembled from their respective mechanisms/transmissions several times as well before the problem arose, so it is possible that some combination of operation and handling contributed to the issue.
