You should be able to check the driverstation logs if you don't have the robot right now.

I just checked the battery and it tested at 39%. So that could be part of the problem. We actually never replaced it with our backup the whole time.
As for the gearbox sound, they were taken around 5 seconds apart, one side, then the other. The robot hadn't been driven for about 45 minutes prior to that clip. So the grease freezing could be the source of the sound, but only one side sounded like that.
The gearbox is a Toughbox Mini. No plastic parts (other than the casing). We currently have the robot bagged for the MN State tournament, but we have a pep fest on Thursday where we will be able to drive it again.
