Re: 1771's Jaguars

Martin,
We did current testing on real robots in the past, both ours and many others. I can tell you that the CIM can and does indeed draw well over 100 amps in stall. I wonder if you had a bad motor. I can't find the data but I seem to remember that the motor resistance is off by at least an order of magnitude from what I remember. Seems it is in the order of 10 -20 mohms.
