Re: Voltage on Frame
I'm guessing you are in the middle of checking electrical continuity while you discovered this little problem. The problem with this that I see is that the robot contains a closed electrical syetem. Whereas the battery is the ground and the supply.

The only suggestion I can offer as to the extra 3V is that possibly your electrical sub system parts are not mounted on a non conductive part like wood or lexan.

Their is a ground built into the system, but of course like I stated before it is a closed sytem, so this is just a precautionary ground I believe.
