Re: Robot refuses to turn!

The whole wheel is gone, nothing is touching. The carpet has concrete beneath it.

Yes I am directly powering the cims on both sides from the battery, with no breakers involved.

Can you please confirm that you're running dual cims on each side, and not singles? ~ This is true as well.

I will check that the voltage isn't dropping too much, but if we are drawing stall current (130A?) from 4 motors the voltage will decrease a ton no matter how charged it is.


As you said, something is wrong. The output shaft spins without applying to much force, and you can easily spin the wheels by hand. You can tell there is some efficiency loss but it seams to be working more of less in proper order.

I will see if I can find a way to make it all spin better, but I am not hopeful.
I will also see if i can get a battery reading 13 volts.
