However, after turning on the spot for about 10 seconds, 1 side or both sides shut down. I am running 16 motors, 4 power packs and a cortex, this thing has the power to move me easily!
How do I identify if it’s my motors PTC’s or my cortex / powerpack PTC shutting down?
your load needs to be spread out evenly. There are PTC’s in ports 1-5 and 6-10 on the cortex, as well as a larger one in the power expander. You want the entire left side in 1-5 and the right side in 6-10, or vice versa. Also, evenly distributing the power expanders will help as well… if that does not help, check your friction and even further maybe lower the speed and increase your torque.
Did you make sure that no wheel is traction wheels? Because if you do have traction on the corners, it can definitely cause some issues with decreased inefficiency when turning. I suggest all omnis except having traction on the middle wheels.
