Re: 12V Voltage on Robot Frame (Perhaps because of a BaneBot)

If you do find it to be the RS775, the root cause is likely your gearbox-side motor mount. Any of the Mabuchi or similar motors will case short due to overheating of the enamel on the rotor shaft. You must ensure ample airflow through the front and rear air vents of the motor.

I have seen similar issues caused more than once due to this scenario. Do a continuity check from the motor housing to your chassis to confirm.
