I don't know if you were mistaken, but the light isn't red when the robot is turned on, it is red when the joystick is moved. Thus, it is in neutral, then turns red, then goes back to yellow when joystick is released

I misunderstood, I thought you meant a rapid flashing red, my mistake.
As far as the fan clicking noise, have you tried blowing it out with compressed air? It may just be getting stuck, and I have no idea how the Jags internal processor reacts to not being able to start the fan, it may shut itself down, or it may do nothing.
