"correct me if I am wrong, I am no an hydraulic mechanic" explains everything so even kids could understand it. Also I would have bought everything robot there was, such a place is a danger to my wallet. <br>Your projects are awesome and well documented.

Determine if you have spark or not on the engine when it dies. Coils can definitely fail when hot

This is so cool! Your hydraulic explanations were great, I was vaguely aware of how they work but really cool seeing how similar they are to electrical circuits. I can only aspire to eventually have use for as many robotic arms as you own

I bet the hydraulic pump is well worn. time to get a collection of high psi gauges to see how the health of the pump and drive motors are. hydraulic stuff just gets "tired" or leaks. Worn pump and motors can leak internal causing a loss of pump power and psi.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BL-QLDBKXQ&t=1300">21:40</a> If it's not a temperature issue, check if it has an oil level sensor. Sometimes on these small motors when the oil gets low it will trigger, but when it's stopped for a minute or two it'll settle back into the sump and release.
