When I press down the switches, the motor that the switch is connected to starts up, but when the switches are it does not run like it is supposed to.
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Any input would be great.

I think that your third connection is not connected. Put the robot on a table and press one switch. Does it back up? I think that the other battery is not connected. Or maybe the (+) or the (-)from the AA battery holder is not well solder to the switch.Posted by robomaniac on February 15, 2008 at 15:41:42 Pacific Time
