Team 5720 Driving Question

If your AUTO and manual drive have the same issue it is most likely an electrical or mechanical problem.
Issues could be one gearbox is not lubricated well, motors may be mounted incorrect, wires are loose. Give it a good step by step troubleshoot.

The weird thing is that we have done that a lot. We noticed that the back of the treads were rubbing on the frame and heating up so our build team put washers in to space it out and that fixed the heating issue. Another time we replaced a baring in one of the pulley sets since it was making a creaking noise when we drove it and we fixed that. We are also fairly certain that the tracks probably aren't getting caught on anything and lacking. One thing I can think of is that our back right small black belt that helps rotate the tracks is tighter than the left one but they both came with the tracks themselves.

Are you using talons for your motor controllers and without them wired via CAN? We ran into this issue last year. Calibrating them fixed it.

We are using Talon SRs and what do you mean "without them wired via CAN"?
