Weirdest issue with our robot!

[Tom Line]

1. Have you changed to a new battery?

2. Have you checked your drivetrain on the right side (assuming tank drive) for any unwanted drag that might be stalling the motors and causing the jags to go into self-protect mode for 3 seconds?

3. What is your drive configuration?

4. Are you running dual cims on both sides and have you confirmed each individual motor is running?

1. Yes, and it actually seemed to delay make the problem more tolerant(good) but then it quickly got worse and worse.
2. We did and there was a slight difference, but it actually seemed to be easier to turn on the right side, (the side that's pushing and causes the problem) so I think that's probably not the issue.
3. We are doing four cim motor tank drive.
4. Yes, and yes however our test consisted of looking whether both the lights changed to the right color but we should test the actual electrical outputs with a voltimeter. And about programming, I am on electrical team so I know very little about our proggramming however I will ask our head programmer that and ask for the file to post. I do know we are using labview however.
