We had a similar problem on a shooter motor last year, after about 1/2 hours of continuous practice or demo. The control algorithm set the CIM, geared around 1:4 reduction to a 6" diameterx18"long drum, into full reverse for a short time while the feed belts backed the balls down to prevent balls that were already touching it from firing before it was spun up, then switched into full forward and spinning up while the feed belts slowed, reversed, and fed the balls into the shooter wheel. This sudden change in direction could cause the battery voltage to drop enough to reset the Jaguar controlling it, but after waiting a few seconds it would return to normal operation. A battery change would always fix the problem. We used 12 gauge wire for all 40 and 30 amp motors (CIM, F-P, 545) with crimped connectors last year without problems.
