Re: [FTC]: Tetrix motor controller weirdness with 4 motors

All wiring was gone through - no tinned wire ends in motor controllers just bare copper, Anderson Power Pole connectors at battery, short USB cable with ferrite core. I think this tells us that the game controller, FCS, Sam module, and NXT were all working, the problem had to be in the Motor Controller(s). A power off and on again and it worked fine.
This is truly odd. It is still anecdotal but there are enough teams having issues with this configuration for me to believe the V2 motors are at least the trigger.
