I would be careful about things heating up. When you say the board has 1.2V, be advised that the 1.2 V are being 'dropped' accross the board. somthing (like resistance, or a short) is causing the voltage to be dropped. This may or may not be a problem, I don't know how much voltage is suposed to be dropped. To me this sounds like a large number. During the off season, we were driving last year's robot around and the controller kept on telling us low battery. We would switch the battery and it would still complain. We check the batteries and they would all read 12 V +. But we touched the main breaker and noticed it was very hot. Apparently the beaker was dropping atleat 2V. the breaker shouldn't have dropped any, but it didn't cut off like it was supposed to. I have gotten kind of off subject, but make sure that you don't burn anything up. Just because you don't see the magic smoke, doesn't mean it isn't comming out.
