I've heard that you can plug in some normal RC car receiver PWMs and get the jaguars to power stuff.

Also, why don't they just test the motors before they wire them up to the jaguars? Or just disconnect them from the jaguars? Or just have the programming team spend the five minutes making a new project that just runs a jaguar based off of a joystick? On our team, the mechanics get cranky whenever the programming team don't get their motors moving within five minutes of mounting (no pun intended).

But yeah, there's lots of ways to easily run the motors without having the jaguars along for the ride. And if they're too lazy to disconnect the motor from the jaguar, get them some spade connectors instead of ring connectors for the jaguars - then it only takes a half turn with a screwdriver to get the wire off (and it's highly recommended for the gray jags you use them anyway).
