During the design and building phase of our robot we noticed that some of the drive motors appeared to be drawing way too much current. current. Since we have utmost faith in our mechanical design team (not to mention their years of experience) we made the assumption that the drive train was correctly designed so the fault must lie elsewhere.

Thats the problem I am having. It should be possible to stop the abnormal current draw in the drivetrain. Of course I need to read the chapter on drivetrains and current draw in my books to be sure. I really should read the First Bill of Materials before I post because all of the information you need is there but the answer you get ends up being a coefficent of friction between the playing surface and the wheels. Of course with my specialty being with mechanics it makes perfect sense that I'd see this problem with a differnt light.
