Program in LV must match the parts you have on the robot.

Both Victors and Jaguars work. We've experienced the same number of failures with both, but more reliability with Victors--we used 4 jaguars on one robot, and one of them died at a post-season demo. We've used 4 to 6 victors on our other 4 robots, and had one bad out of the box, and never any other failures.

Neither one has what I would consider sufficient markings on the terminals to prevent miswiring. These parts are used by students who often have little knowledge of the importance of wiring stuff up properly, and the implications of miswiring--they should have highly legible markings to help the user figure out instantly which terminal is positive, which is negative, and which side the motor connects to. The little painted screws don't help at all if you have to remove them to install the wires!
