Re: unknown electrical issue

Is this the first time the robot has done this?

What is your wheel setup? I would expect this issue with 4 high traction wheels in that configuration. If you have omni's on front or back, I would not expect this behavior due to the drivetrain configuration.

Edited for clarity:
**If you do not have omni's on one set of wheels, you will stall your drivetrain motors, likely pulling too much current and tripping the breakers.

Don't discount a mechanical issue as a result of an electrical symptom.

If this occurs after three minutes of heavy drive motor usage, you could likely have a dead battery. If you have a Battery Beak, check the condition of the battery when it exhibits these symptoms. Hopefully, it will point you in the right direction.
