  original power trace and simply plugging in a new external power
  source(a 36V battery pack?).

  current to the motor with the increase in supply voltage. however, it
  seems that the existing L293D motor driver can only supply 600mA. does
  this mean i have to use a different chip with higher ouput current
  capability or even a separate motor driver board? if possible, could
  someone please recommend a suitable motor driver chip other than the
  L293D? Thank you.
