Re: What is the strangest issue with a robot you have ever seen?

So last year, our lifting mechanism for the totes kept twitching up and down. This would happen whenever the bot was enabled, even when the controller wasn't connected. We calibrated the motor controller, but that didn't fix it. We went through the lifter code line by line and there was nothing there that could have caused the twitching. To this day, we still don't know what caused the twitching, but it doesn't matter because we cannibalized the control system for our 2016 bot .

Not when it happened, but I have read about it through highlight posts. Two words: Price Less.

Re: What is the strangest issue with a robot you have ever seen?

We've semi consistently had issues with motors "jerking" while the robot disabled with no one touching the driver station. I've been told it's impossible but it has happened multiple times on multiple robots.
