Re: jag apears to be dead after firmware update

This probably doesn't have anything to do with your update. It was most likely the Jaguar itself. Jaguars are notoriously known for unreliability. Our team has had many just give out during tests or competition. This year, we have switched to using all victors. They are much more reliable and durable. They also last much longer. Most of the Victors we are using, are over three years old, and even after extensive use, they still work like new. If you have the opportunity, I would recommend using only Victors. It will make your robot much more reliable. If you still use Jaguars, be very careful with them, you don't want another one to fail.
