Re: pic: Part of the control board along with the bump

Solomon90 it looks like you are only using 1 40amp breaker. The CIM and Fisher Price motors can draw a lot of current when starting up, climbing a burm or pushing another robot. You're probably using 4 of these high current draw motors which should be protected by 40 amp breakers. As mentioned earlier check out rule R47A for the appropriate wire size. Good luck and have fun!!!
