Re: Victor 888/Talon SR Weird Issue (Drivetrain)

What size breaker do you have the CIM motor controllers wired to?
I encountered a team at my last competition that wired their drive CIMs to 30a breakers (40a breakers are quite a bit better for driving).
The stall starting power draw of CIMs will usually trip 30a breakers (producing a clicking sound) before the CIMs can move against any resistance (although they might work up on blocks or on slick flooring).
