Make sure that the vehicle design
is correct.
Make sure that all material con-
tact surfaces are clean.
Make sure that the vehicle accel-
eration is correct.
Make sure that the vehicle speed
is correct.
Make sure that the PID values are
correct.
Make sure that the guide rails and
motors are clean.
Make sure that the guide rail
alignment V-braces are properly
installed.
Make sure that the power and
communication cables to all
motors are properly seated.
Make sure that the PID values are
correct.
