Re: Severe voltage drop
A picture of your setup would be helpful. Is the tread system something custom, of the AndyMark Rhino Treads?
I would also measure current draw going to each CIM. Do this with the treads off the ground, while driving straight, and while turning. The idea here is to get some hard numbers to compare in order to isolate the problem. Doing it with the robot up on blocks is important, because that will tell you if the issue is with actually driving (for example, scrub friction while turning) or if it is some sort of mechanical binding in the drive train.
How are your treads tensioned? With the robot turned off and it up on blocks, can you rotate them by hand?
