3042 got their robot fully operational last week and has since found that, even under fairly little strain, the drive motors get extremely hot. Also, the left side draws more power than the right. Even after we checked the gearboxes for binds and replaced the motors, it draws consistently about 4 amps more than the other side. Attached are photos to give a view of the chassis. Preview: West coast drive, versablocks, direct driven back wheels, 1/8 inch drop center. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix these problems? I recognize that the length of the drive train gives it a lot of scrub, but we will likely have some omnis to try out on the front and back before the first tournament.
