I am having trouble with my warp feed. It is loosing power quickly under usage. At the field it made it through one game and then it did not have enough strength left to feed anymore. At home it took maybe 2 minutes of continous running until it did not have enough power to push balls through the tubing. Before you ask I did use new batteries, several of them fesh out of the packaging. I origionally thought it was draining the batteries, but it didn't appear to be. At home I put one of the batteries that I had used at the field and it ran fine for a couple of minutes but then began to slow down again. So I don't think it is eating the batteries. Also the "belt" drive does not seem to be slipping, that was my other suspicion. The gears are all fine and the wheel turns easily when the belt has been removed, even with paint in the warp feed so it is not jamming. After you detach the battery and let it sit for a while it will run just fine, but only for a few minutes.
Is there anything that any of you could suggest that I look at before I resign to sending it in for repair?
