Really? How about running without any backup battery?

Russel, same thing happened to our 2004 robot, it turned out to be an electrical problem for us. I traced it down to the victors, apparently if the motors reach a higher than normal amp-rating, the victors just die, but then just completely removing the brake/coast jumper fixed it all.
