We may be quickly finding the limits of the rover mechanical systems.

Then I remembered that there is more speed to be had: Turning up the PWM to max with a FFWD command shows an entirely new problem.

Why does it stop? Stubborn has an impact sensor that is being triggered by this wheelie maneuver. What is needed here is some ability to tune parameters on the fly. Either a slower acceleration or perhaps disabling impact sensing as part of a mission plan.

Stubborn now has the capability to disable the impact sensor during a mission.

I'm still seeing a lot of instability with random reboots during operations. I was thinking perhaps the battery level drops at speed and it just needs a charge but this looks ok on the meter

Are you saying a need better equipment? I bet I need better equipment.

The current drawn when the wheels are freely rotating, like in this setup will be different frm when it moving around with load on the floor. Try to add some friction to the wheels with your finger or something else and gradually increase it and observe the voltage in this setup.

The motor specs should have numbers for no-load and stall current. Use the stall current to estimate peak load.
