 You can take the man out of FIRST, but you can't take FIRST out of the man.

Re: Having trouble with cim motors
I hate to say this... but is your code fine? That's the first thing I would check. After that, try calibrating the sparks.

Re: Having trouble with cim motors
It could be as simple as a loose connection meaning that one motor on a side isn't receiving power, also depending on which gearboxes you are using one, could have been fitted with a slightly different gear ratio than the other?

Re: Having trouble with cim motors
Are the motors new or have you used them on a previous year's robot?
Does the problem follow one motor regardless of motor controller? Or does the same motor controller always run the motor slower? What about friction in the drivetrain? Does the slower side feel more difficult to turn by hand? |
