Re: Power issues...Electrical? Mechanical?
Thanks everyone for the great ideas and suggestions.

The robot is on it's way to the Boston regional and we have not been able to reproduce the problem with the spare parts we have at the school. We were able to test the motors and transmissions. They are assembled correctly and running freely with no obvious problems with the CIM motors. Right now we are leaning towards a problem with the breaker panel or the wiring between the battery and the breaker panel. Hopefully it will be a matter of swapping out a few electrical parts to get us running at 100% again. I'll post an update of symptoms and/or a solution as they develop.
