If jags weren't that fragile (i.e. get fried easily compared to victors and get cut-outs during competition), it could have easily won the cost benefit analysis. So our conclusion is that unless our robot design calls for a certain feature that jags can easily provide through CAN and cost too much to implement using Victors, we would avoid them. Hopefully, the next generation of jags will improve the reliability enough that will swing our opinion the other way.
