Re: Battery connected backwards to robot

Rich,
Two problems there...
1. There is only one polarity of wiring at the Main Breaker.
2. If you close the breaker, death will occur.
I would rather know before I put the battery in the robot. But you know, training will help this situation. Everything is already color coded, red battery terminal, red wire and a big "+" sign on the connector (both sides).
