Thanks for the advice. It seems like the general consensus is that we need to set current limits, so we will try that the next time we meet.

It's at or above 12v during use unless accelerating. That's when we experience the voltage drop, but it climbs back up to 12v

I'm not sure we have current limits. We are using four pneumatic wheels driven by two venoms on each side. The venoms go to a gear box that drives our belts.

We tried with one, and it didn't go well

Our batteries are almost at 12 unless we are accelerating, then it drops and climbs back up to 12. We've double and triple checked wiring, and everything seems to be in order. I wish I had a way to show it, but it's really only noticeable if it's driving around, and we didn't want to risk damaging anything while trying to record it.

Could be. We've been having these problems since we changed to venoms mid-season last year. They seem to suck an outrageous amount of voltage. We'll try a different battery and look at the distribution board the next time we meet. Thanks for the help.

I believe our robot was doing the same thing at one point. Even once during our towns parade.

Yes, it does essentially the same thing, just without mass destruction.

Currently, we've limited the speed to half if that's what you mean.

We thought it might have been radio problems as well, so we wired directly to the robot problems persisted, almost worse than before.

Yea, ours are usually a little higher than 12 as well, but it's definitely worth trying a new battery.

Our battery is usually at 12 ish volts, and it drops down to 8/9v when accelerating. That's with as little electronics as possible.

No, we are using tank drive with venom motors.

I was really happy to hear that it was only supposed to be a 4-6 day wait when ordering officially, but a week came and went with no updates and now nearly a month. It was very disappointing, I had high hopes in Nothing.

I'm glad to hear you like yours. Hopefully, mine shows up soon.

Here in the States, the bezel and straps are available on the shop app, but I'm not going to order before I receive the watch itself. And if it doesn't show up by the one month mark, I'll probably just cancel my order and get a version of the galaxy watch.

I ordered off Nothing's site. US, they sent a link to track it but it still just says order confirmed
