Potentially defective motors on Zumo Robot for Arduino v1.2?

Post by gvela025 »

Hello!

I administrate the software co-op program at my company and we do a sumo mini competition every spring and fall with the Zumo Robot as a learning opportunity. We purchased a set of 5 robots for this Fall's competition. So far, 2 of the 3 of the 5's robot's motors seemed to stop working randomly after some use. I happened to have a spare set of motors and replaced them on one of the bots and it is now working fine.

Would I possible be able to get 2 bots replaced?

Here's my order number: 2902813-3008768307

Thanks!
Gabe

They worked and then didn't work. Is there any correlation to anything?

Can you test the motors in isolation? That is - remove from robot and apply power directly to motor to see if they'll spin.
