Is there a limit on the number of Jaguars or victors we can use on the robot? I know there is a limit on motors, but are we allowed virtually unlimited jaguars?

Thanks!

Well... You do have to fit all of them within size and cost constraints. You also have to supply them with a connection to the DSC (per [R60]).

But other than that, no.

No, unlimited Jaguars would exceed the robot total weight limit :-)

All seriousness aside, you are not permitted to have more Jaguars than the total number of "electrical loads" on your robot as described below:

[R46]

Each power-regulating device (speed controller or relay module) shall control one and only one electrical load (motor, actuator, electric solenoid, or compressor).
