Re: Power issues...Electrical? Mechanical?
The fact that it's occuring to all the CIMs basically rules out bad motors.
In addition to the battery check to make sure all your connector crimps on the wires are good. Also check the alignment of your drive train parts. Sprockets, gears, chains, shafts, side plates, ect. out of alignment could be causing more drag on the motors.
Do you know if the motors are getting very hot before your robot dies in it's tracks?
