Re: BLINKING RED LIGHT!
just wondering...

do victors "reset" or go into an "error state" when their voltage dips too low?

The gearing in our drivetrain is high, which draws a lot of power from our battery. It seems that when our wheels stall from say running into the wall we run into the problem mentioned above with blinking red lights and the robot pauses for about 3 secs(about the time to reset a jag)...

we are hoping that switching to victors will get rid of this problem, does this sound like it will work?

thanks
