Re: [DFTH] Jags v. Vics...

IIRC Jags have much better low-speed control than Victors, which became very apparent to me with our latest robot. We got CAN running last year, it was 100% reliable until that obnoxious field firmware issue reared its ugly head. I hope that will be fixed this year.

On pricing, what I found last year was: Jags are $85 from DigiKey, and Vics are $90 from Vex. Not sure if this is out of date or not.

When we used the brown Jags in 2010 we blew a couple of them in competition, very disappointing. When we used black Jags in 2011 we never had a single issue.
