Re: I hate Jaguars!!!

We, 3172, have had significant issues with jaguars in our short existence. At Greater Kansas City Regional, early last March, we had two "blow-outs". We had a third "blow-out" during off-season community outreach, and a fourth during a test. With this fourth jaguar, we were not even enabled. We heard a quiet but very high pitched squeal emanating from the vicinity of the jaguar's 20 amp fuse. A slightly louder click sound pulsated through the, 14 gauge I believe, wire obviously connecting the jaguar with the main power board. We flipped the breaker, and turned it on again and got similar results. As a second year team, we simply don't have the funding to purchase jaguar after jaguar after jaguar. We have checked wire gauge, voltage, current, fuse, ground, connectors, etc. Nothing. Any advice or ideas would be splendid!
