Re: Power issues...Electrical? Mechanical?

Are motors are spinning in the correct directions, I thought that immediately too.

The motors are not getting hot before they die. Our power cable from the battery was very hot to the touch supposedly after it died during a match.

Should we be using one speed controller per motor, or should we have one speed controller per pair of motors? That way they are running the same speed and one isn't dragging down the other.
