Brian,
"Need more input!!!" Johnie 5
Let your robot talk to you, look for missing lights, hot wires, missing rotating light, etc.(see post about battery change) Missing LED on speed controllers are almost guarantee of breaker resetting. (although this usually occurs rapidly, not a few seconds) No rotating light and the robot interface is rebooting. Hot wires usually an indication of bad crimp/high resistance connection, replace or recrimp. (solder preferred) If robot says all is ok then suspect speed changer and use a couple of tie wraps tied real tight to keep it from jumping out of gear. (Raul taught me this one.) The other posts tell what to do if tripping breakers (see correct gear ratios) low battery, or drive train mechanical. If you still are having problems at a regional ask for help. We would be happy to come over and trouble shoot, sometimes it is not one of these things and we always look for a chance to learn something. Good Luck,
Al
