problem with Motor Mind B

Hi

I have a problem using Motor Mind B. I´m trying to use a DC-motor but when I try to start it using the motormodule it wont go if I don´t push the robot, then the motor is going pretty well. The problem is that if the robot stops it wont start again if I don´t push it again. If I connect the motor direct to a 6V battery it starts by itself. To motormind I have connected a 12V battery.

Someone who know what to do?

    It sounds like you are running the motor on a low speed setting, there may not be enough power getting to the motor to overcome initial inertia.
