Go to Post The Indiana Mafia? We are very insulted. Another comment like that and you could wind up having a couple of broken legs. But thanks for the good words - Bill Beatty [more]

Re: Arm goes down too fast?

Don't give the robot any more Mountain Dew.

PS: Are you actively trying to control the arm when it goes down, or is it just settling under the influence of gravity?

If you are trying to actively control it, how does the arm behave when it is disconnected from the active devices?

How do the active devices behave when they are diconnected from the arm?

Is some individual part of the machine acting erractically, or are several parts combining in some odd non-linear way to create the behavior?

Re: Arm goes down too fast?

Check if your Jaguar/Victors have the brake jumpers installed. It can help.

We're using window motors for the arm.

Edit: Does it matter? The window motors don't backdrive.

It does it when were powering it in a downwards direction. Without power it stays up fine, and with power up it goes up fine. Its only about .3 power in the programming and it just slams down
