Re: Robot control cuts out

If you've been driving it a long time, it's possible that your battery has worn out.

I believe I heard somewhere that the cRIO cuts off all outputs when the voltage supplied to it drops below a certain value.

You can test this by looking at the battery indicator on the DS while driving the robot. If the voltage tends to fall down to 9 volts or less when running full steam, then it's probably time to change the battery.
