Our 2.0 stops about in the middle of the tracks and says the drive motors have run too long, with nothing under the wheels. Anybody had this problem or any ideas on fixes???:confused:

have you checked the prox switches? Did a wheel count test? Did you do a hard reboot? Check these before you do anything else.

This just recently happened to me on my WW 1.0. It ended up being the drive motor on the left side. To trouble shoot. I jacked up gantry and put bricks under. Then ran the motors. With the bad side not engauged it would not trip it would work. See my previous post for jacking up gantry with a Harbor Freight ram. Much easier than any other way and also makes any motor or gear box work much easier.
