Re: Defective Black Jaguars?
My procedure from before is to help guarantee that it isn't the cables or the ID. I know that on my teams robot, we can't guarantee that a cable is good until we've tested it them in an environment where it is the only variable. Same goes for the IDs.

As a mentor, I know for a fact that the state of cables and Jaguars one night might not be the same the next night because there are some pretty eager students out there. All it takes is a student to think they have a problem, and the best solution is to reset the Jaguars to factory defaults (ID 1).

Can you move the Jaguars to different places in the network, leaving the cables in the same place. For example, try different combinations like this:

[Jag A (black)][Cable 1][Jag B (grey)][Cable 2][Jag C (grey)][Cable 3][Jag D (black]...

[Jag A (black)][Cable 1][Jag C (grey)][Cable 2][Jag D (black)][Cable 3][Jag B (grey)]...

[Jag D (black)][Cable 1][Jag B (grey)][Cable 2][Jag A (black)][Cable 3][Jag B (grey)]...

Does the failure move with the Jaguar or does it stay at the same place in the network? If the failure moves, this could help eliminate the cabling.
