Re: Do not use Jaguars with window motors
1178 used a window motor controlled by a Victor for our main lift (continuous rigging). Aside from the speed, we never had an issue with the motor. (The belt slipping, waiting for our main drive train parts to come in, jaguars frying (replaced all the drive jaguars (4) with Victors within 1 hour of uncrating the robot at the St. Louis Regional were several of numerous problems but with the window motor controlled by the victor, we never had a direct motor problem.)
