Re: Voltage on Frame

First, check to see that it is still happening at the competition.

BTW, according to my ap physics TB: when Resistance is raised, Current goes down, not voltage, therefore, there must be some kind of source for 3 volts going somewhere.

My guess would be something having to do with an external power source. Check for static electricity and things like that. see if the voltage is relatively constant accross the robot, otherwise, try and figure out the path of the current.

if it still occurs with the BATTERY disconnected, i would lay environmental issues to blame. The only other bet of mine is that the speed controller fans/other fans are spinning to point where a source is created.

That reminds me, when you turned everything off, did you kill the muffins?
