New problem: My clawbot is not driving on one side with the drivetrain code

So I have tried to fix my code over and over and come to find out it’s not the code, but rather the robot. The right side drive wheel is not operating under the “drive forward for __ mm/inches” block code. How may I fix this?

If you spin the wheel that won’t work manually, is there any noise coming from the motor (do this with the robot brain off)? If there is no noise, that means that either your motor is broken, in which case you should replace the motor, or it could mean that the wheel is not physically connected to the motor. Make sure that the wheel’s axle is connected to the motor properly (if there is gearing, make sure it is aligned, if the axle is in the motor directly, make sure it is pushed in fully, etc.).

It may be a dead motor. Try separately testing each motor and if its dead swap out the motor.

Can you send us a picture? It might help.


Otherwise, check:

  • Check and Swap Port-cabels
  • Swap Motors
  • Make sure the axle is pushed in, if you mean that it has no effect on driving
  • Check if the code includes that port
  • Check if you are using the right port.
  • Swap brain ports to a new unused one

I found out I didn’t have the motors set right in the devices area in vexcode…
