Angry Help!!! Transmission problems
Today, we got our robot going, set it down to drive, and well, it dind't. What happens is that the bot will move about 6 inches or so and then the 40 amp curcuit brakers will cut off. We have tried checking all of the connections for binding, greasing everyting, etc. We are running the drill motors through the supplied gear boxes directly to 8 1/2 in dia. wheels. We have a chain connecting the drive wheels to the rear ones to form a 4wd system. We have also tried removing the chain to make it a 2wd system.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Bill B.
