Re: Victor PWM terminals are temperamental. Solutions?

Practice is key, however, if there is something physically hitting the Jaguars and Victors directly, then you probably need a cover to protect your electrical board.

I don't think that is the case though. Another nifty little trick that my old team picked up from a first class team a few years ago was hot glue guns. If you can manage to get the PWM Pins (or any other electrical connection for that matter) into a spot where you like them, and LIGHTLY run it around to make sure that they work properly, you can hot glue gun the tops to not only keep them from coming out, but reinforce them from further damage. Only a little dab of it would suffice to keep them from coming out during competition, and taking it up is as easy as prying it up with a blade.

Hope this helps!
Petrie
