Re: Runaway CIM motors

We use Victors to run the drivetrain motors, they seem to be less likely to fail in strange ways than the Jaguars. We've never had a Victor fail on a robot, but we've had a couple Jaguars fail the one year we used them for the drive motors.

Stories like this confirm that we're probably doing the right thing....even though many teams use Jags and don't have any problems...
