Today's class was dedicated to working on our robots.  I worked on getting the HB 25 and Banebot wired and programed.  I also wired in a master switch to turn on and off the power from the new battery to the board and motors.  The Banebot worked fine, but the HB 25 gave me trouble.  Dr. B came and tried to figure out why it wouldn't turn the motor.  We checked the program, wiring and the motor controller itself but it turned out to be that we had to start with the master power and switch on the board both off, then turn on the master power, wait a few seconds then turn on the board and it would work.  No body knows why it did that.  After that I got my LCD display for the next project.
