Re: Help! Radio not working

For the past couple of days since we started to practice with our chassis we have noticed a very weird thing. Sometimes the robot seems to lose control, especially during the times at which victors supply a large amount of current to the motors. One time the robot accelerated by user input however when the joysticks were released the robot continued to proceed for the set of lockers at about 15 feet per second, once the robot hit the wall control was regained however our freaking frame was bent and the lockers suffered a terrible fate as well. After that incident there were 2 more not as dangerous but still leaving us with doubts about controlling the robot in the presence of people.

IFI - Please clarify on this issue.
