Ok, so we have our robot chassis built and completing the rest of the robot in the next week or so.
We have wired everything up to run the chassis and have a basic program to drive the chassis.
Issue: The motors will run as long as we do not push down the joysticks completely. Once it is pushed completely the voltage drops from 12V to something around 5V and the system shuts down. The assumption is that we are over loading the current above 40 amps but not sure.
We are using CIM motors and Talon motor controllers.
We tried another battery, switching the Talon with a Jaguar and checked the wiring.
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated?
Thanks.
