We cannot help you if we don’t know what you are doing!
Please send pictures of your robot and your code
Make sure you have a charged battery, in your robot

Could you be a bit more specific? Generally I would say a motor malfunctioning or a change to the code.

No one can help without pictures of the robot and pictures of the code.

This will always be the case…

If you show pictures of your robot and code, we can help you. But with issues like this, there could be thousands of reasons why your drivetrain is failing (and how is it failing? Is it not moving at all?)

Hah, enough need-the-image messages…

If it randomly stopped working, it could be:

  • Motor Overheat (Just let it cool down, and it’ll be fine)
  • Drivetrain Got caught in something
  • You Got_A_Screw_Loose (well, just something fell off?). Check the ground to see if anything broke off
  • Brain or Controller ran out of battery (Likely not the case, but just make sure)
  • Some hardware malfunction (Also not likely)
  • The shaft fell out of the motor hole
  • (Some others, feel free to add on!)
