The drive typically get values from 1 to -1. I was running at a .15 and .25. What I found was that with the older model battery, the robot would hardly be able to move. Where as with the newer one it would cook.
The motor speeds wouldn't change but the power would. Also our cims were geared way up. So the robot didn't have the torque to move at low speeds with an older battery. It seemed the difference between the batteries was enough to give it that extra bit of torque at low speeds.

The result: you set the speeds for the older battery, and then go out with a new battery. The robot would fly into the player station.
you set the speeds for a newer battery, and go out with an older one, it wouldn't make it to target.
