You are not losing your control signals but the servo is not doing what? Please describe your issue as if anybody who reads it doesn't have a clue about what you are doing... | ||

| Maybe the servo isn't powerful enough. Maybe the servo's current in the very long cord is causing the voltage to the servo to be reduced which reduces its power.

| I wonder how much drag a 105 ft cord has. I agree with AG - unless you have a really beefy servo, don't expect much power. I would get a spring scale (like for weighing fish) and attach it to the bot. see how much pulling force it generates. I think you will be surprised at how little it is. Not to criticize but when ever an engineer has a problem, they break it down into it's components and determine where the problem lies. I suggest a methodical approach and definitely post more info - servo model number and specs, bot weight, wheel size, wire size, failure scenario details and so on. | |
