Re: Blown talon srx modules

When spinning the motors to feed power backward, you may have huge (kV range) voltage spikes from flyback from the motor.

The power distribution board current sensor is susceptible to damage from flyback voltage from motors, as our team has discovered the hard way.

This is speculation, but could a similar problem have affected this team? It seems strange that so many of the controller have failed...
