[mini-rant] Or, if you were still able to obtain IFI's breaker panel, write a bit of code to automatically detect when these are getting tripped consistantly and automatically stop applying power to the motors for a second or two... [/mini-rant]

What Mike said is completley consistant with what was going on. If you were stalling out the motors (which are capable of drawing too much current), then you wouldn't have 'control' anymore (because the motors are disabled).

I completly agree with Mike; redesign your system so that pushing won't cause stalling. It sounds like stalling your De-Walt motors will cause problems.
