Re: Robot Spins on Start


Consider doing a root cause analysis to determine why the jags were wired improperly. This would necessarily involve determining who wired them that way, and under what circumstances. This is not a witch hunt. The purpose is not to assign blame. The purpose is to determine what changes need to be made to reduce the likelihood it will happen again. More and/or better training? Certification required in order to be permitted to do electrical work? Mandatory inspection by a second party before powering after wiring? Better labeling on all motor controllers? Better labeling of wires? All of the above? None of the above? Whatever is appropriate for your team.
