Re: Turning Trouble!

A low battery can cause this problem. Also, check to see if your backup battery is fully charged. And is plugged in.

It might be a software glitch since you say it doesn't occur until after 30 seconds or so.

Do you have any sensors on the robot? Hall effect sensors? Encoders? These could be causing problems.

Also, check which PWMs you are using to drive the speed controllers. Avoid PWM 13 through PWM 16 if you can. They are handled differently than the lower 12.
