Re: Advice needed !!

Did you lower the center wheels of your robot? Most 6-wheel designs include a dropped center wheel to facilitate turning (the robot is never on more than 4 wheels and will turn on the center two).

Another no-brainer check is to make sure that you have 40A breakers and not 20 or 30A breakers pluged in line with the motors.

Also, make sure that your gearboxes are properly lubricated and that there is as little resisitance in them as possible. That's all I can think of right now: Good luck!
