Re: Do not use Jaguars with window motors

Just adding that Team Max (1071) ran an arm with two window motors on a single shaft with two jaguars this year, also without issue over many matches and numerous hours of pre shipping practice time.

We did, early on, encounter some issues with the locking pins on the window motors when our arm was at its point of maximum torque, however some unrelated issues that changed the weight distribution of our arm seemed to mostly resolve them.
