Were they flashing yellow like they do when the robot is disabled, then the battery voltage was so low that the Crio went into voltage protect mode. Certain robot designs draw very high currents in turns. It is also possible that there is something wrong mechanically on one side or the other of the robot drive system.

SMART!!! I didn't think about the voltage turning off the crio or putting it in protection mode. I think that is the most likely problem considering what I've seen. It makes perfect sense for what's happening. And it would make sense that it would only happen turning to the right because we sanded our wheels down and I bet one side is still much rougher than the other which makes it tough to turn which take a lot of energy. I will definetly look into that tomorrow! Thank you a billion times, chief Delphi rocks!
