Yeah he has contradicted himself but the last test points it to be a motor problem. Its confusing at the best of times and easy to come to the wrong conclusions without a logical test method.

I've done (or shall I say failed to do) this more than once.

The Gemini motors are H bridge driven DC servos with encoder feedback. Since this is a Gemini2 then the control is quite different to the G1. However his last tests did indicate it to be the motor issue...IMHO.

Which in itself is odd...I assume it's reasonably new...maybe a motor was damaged by a bad balance?
