Been searching internet and TFP.
2.5 years on robot, it spends most life underwater. Impellar seems to spin free and it churns water above on startup so I think that's good.
The robot will move a foot or two, stop for ~10 seconds, move another foot or two, stop. After a few cycles of that it shuts down.
Out of pool on back it runs continuously at slow speed for a minute or two then stops.
Is this typical drive motor failure I read so much about here? I'm not afraid to replace brushes, but I wasn't sure ify symptoms were pointing that direction or somewhere else since I couldn't find that particular problem description. Probably just bad at searching.
If it matters, I have a new controll box / power supply, and both old and new ones act the same so I assume problem is in the bot.
