This in turn caused widespread electrical issues such as causing servos to twitch (launch minibot prematurely) and smoking Jaguars. We will avoid them as best we can moving forward.
How were the motors setup? Transmissions, loads, control, etc. Like I said my team had a 100% positive experience with them, so I'm curious as to why your experience was 100% negative.
