    Please can you provide a little more detail as to how you have it wired

     

     

     

    What power are you using when plugged in, what is your battery config when in autonomous mode

     

     

     

    What are the volts on the controller in each case

     

     

     

    Please provide a diagram if you can as it will help a lot

     

     

     

    Any other additional info would also be helpful, Pictures, code etc

     

     

     

    Currently I am thinking it is your batteries

     

     

     

    Thanks

    You were right! it was the voltage.

     

    What I tried first was changing the 9v battery, but that didn't seen to work, it only pulsed the motors slightly.

    So what I did was trouble-shoot the power problem, I used a voltage change switch, which can change from 1.5 - 12volts.

    I first set at 9 volts, because that was what the robot came with, but it still was not getting enough power, so I went the next voltage up.

    I was afraid to go up thinking it was going to fry the board! but I went for it.

    It worked!!! the robot ran its program all the way through!!

    My question is why???

    Now the problem is... how am I supposed to mount 12 volt's to my BOT???!!

     

    by the way Thanks for helping me.
