Re: Losing Jaguars? What are the common reasons why it burns out?
We lost a total of 4 black jags this season. It seems that the beige jags are much more reliable. They're all connected via PWM's not CAN, so the CAN issue above can be ruled out. We lost two during competition for seemingly no reason, they just stopped. We're going to get the 2011 jag's replaced and swap our flight bot out with the older model jags as they haven't given us issues.
