SumoBot Problem

Exterminator

I loaded the SumoBot_2.2_Motor_Test.BS2 program.· It executes the program just fine.· However, on initial power up to position 2, the left servo rotates backwards (clockwise) ever so slightly before executing the program.· Of course, now the bot is on a misaligned path prior to executing its program.· Any ideas to correct this?

It's normal for a servo to jerk slightly when first powered up. I don't have a copy of the test program handy, but putting a long pause at the beginning would allow you to correct any malpositioning at power up before the actual program begins.

Thank you. I will try that. It does it on both units so I suspected as much.
