speed issues

A robot voltage plot can be seen in the Driver station log files for every robot run.
Brownout events are marked as well.
The gear icon on the right side of the Driver Station is a menu. Choose View Log File.

Looking though yesterdays logs I do not see any brown outs and although I am somewhat guessing as to what the robot was doing at various points. It appears to me that even when the mini-CIM that power the shooter were probably stalled the current draw did not spike, all the spikes that I saw were at motor start up.

How much additional current does a stalled motor appear to draw on this graph?
I am beginning to think it is a mechanical problem with our strength shooter arms.

Since the answers to these problems so rarely get put at the end of a thread.

I would like to report that you can not solve he problem of unkeyed shooter wheels with programming or electrical troubleshooting.
I think that will get a very controllable shooter shortly after we get to the competition. Right now we are just so thankful for a robot that behaves in a proper fashion we bagged the robot knowing that the future has explicable
behavior, and not this random stuff we've been seeing.
