Re: Out of control robot

We had this issue earlier this year and it was due to a faulty battery. Check your voltage right before you enable, or if you have a battery beak see what the status of your battery is.

Re: Out of control robot

Calibration comes to my mind. I remember when the PID loop on our robot wasn't calibrated and just as much as tapping the joysticks caused the robot to shoot off.

Re: Out of control robot

Disconnect the PWM inputs from the motor controllers: If it still moves, the controllers are faulty (possibly wired incorrectly).

If it doesn't move, then plug in controllers (robot off!) one at a time to find the problem. Then look in the code for that/those motor PWM outputs.
