errrrCLICK....CLICKerrrrrrCLICK!!!
That is the sound our prototype bot makes because the drill motors (on the low speed/high torque setting) will stall and trip the breakers (we are using the 30 amp ones...the 40's haven't come yet) every time we try to move the robot after a while. The battery is fine. The program was only sending 110 to the motor (not that fast).
Is this normal?
Would the 40's really help?
Is this a drivetrain issue (we are using the regular helical gears/gearbox/drill transmission for our prototype)?
BTW...if the robot is lifted off the ground, the motors are much better (they will only do their CLICK thing if you REALLY slam the joystick around).
