• Left and Center ESC are not initializing properly. Not sure if this is a programming issue with the ESC, or the skid-steer expecting reversing motors and needing to set the midpoint so the ESC properly recognized the throttle low point. Interestingly the Right motor is behaving properly, swapping the servo leads does not seem to change the behavior, so doubt this is an issue with the servo output settings (ArduRover settings), and more likely an issue with the ESC.
• Amperage of the large battery is causing the motors to shut down when low voltage is encountered. Will use the LiPo for further testing as do not get this problem with them (though have a short run time)

• Lake testing is revealing a problem with over-steering when in Auto. May be a PID setting, but also seeing some of the motors shutting down while at full throttle, requiring a throttle down to get the motor to re-initialize. Similar behavior in Manual mode.
