This is a con?
I'm not using a Jaguar on a robot as long as possible. I'm just not willing to compromise reliability. Victors do exactly what they're told.

Yep, that was supposed to be a Pro for the victors. My bad.
Also, I did put the over-current in the Cons as well... It caught us too much, plus by my understanding, the shunt resistors starts to wear out pretty quickly too, so the Over-current starts to kick in earlier and earlier.
Also, to be fair, I believe the Jaguars were design to be used with CAN, and the PWM control was a second-thought. Not a good excuse, but you gain so much functionality with the CAN network.
