Hello everyone,

I have been fiddling with my dual servo routines and I have gotten
things running to the point that I now need a chassis for my project.  While
working on the drive system I have noticed that when under heavy motor load (2
motors at full throttle) the servos are almost uncontrollable.  I have the TI 1
amp motor chips, and am driving motors which draw a max of about 700 mA.  If
the board is plugged into the wall for power, the effect is not as bad, but when
running on battery power alone, the servos are so sloppy as to be useless.  I
presently have the servos running off their own 6V battery, but nonetheless I
suspect a power supply problem.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

David
