Re: Running a Window Motor with both a spike and a victor at the same time
The Window motors contain an internal PTC circuit breaker - if they get too hot the circuit breaker will open the connection (and stop the motor) until the motor cools down.
Check everything to make sure nothing is binding; if there is nothing obvious then it is likely the Window motor is simply struggling with the task. The Window motors only have a peak power output of 20 Watts, which is one of the weakest FRC-legal motors.
In this case, you should investigate to see if you can use a different, more powerful motor to accomplish this task.
