Hey Eric how did you guess the W numbers so accurately ?
Yup its all in the fan! If it gets us 10C/W then the even the VICs at 60A come down to <100C! We should do a temp measurment on those.
The 15KW avalanche energy was a total red herring. Just ignore it we are not avalanching in FIRST
Basicaly to place a simplified answer to the title of this thread:
The VICs win in terms of being able to get more power out of them.
The Jags are overly protective and their power could be increased significantly without harming the system - especially for a FIRST 2.5 minute competition event.
