: I remember reading somthing about the joysticks going to 254 but the motors maxing out at around 158. can anyone tell me where to find this post or confirm the number for me? I looked through the archives but was unable to find it. Thanks

Without my manual handy to look these things up, it sounds like you're actually referring to the minimum power needed to start the motors rolling...because of the frictional forces and everything else, if you set a PWM to 128 (or 126 for that matter) you're not going to get a robot who's standing still to get moving...you may be referring to something else though, I dunno for sure...too busy building our box lately to follow much else...
