Can I presume you are inquiring from the other teams?
What we had originally worked within the expectations we had of it. We didn't run it in competition not because of the splitter, but because CAN in general kept producing timeout errors and having other problems that eventually caused us to abandon CAN for PWM and later, after a few other troubles, to abandon the Jaguars in favor of the Victors.
To be additionally clear:
1. There were other issues in that particular drive train that caused it to be ill suited to the Jaguars. This is not an attempt to bash the Jaguars. That drive train was just not a good fit as it turned out.
2. Since the circuit in question was never actually fielded (to my knowledge) I can't be sure it's legal, but so far my research on the matter indicates it would have been legal last year and this year.
3. We did not use Jaguars this year at all.
4. I have 'too many eggs in my basket' currently the soonest I could slap all that on my test robot would be late May or June. When things finished off last year it got so quiet I didn't bother to continue with this work (by this work I mean this splitter, I built an entire robot and test equipment for that robot myself) because there didn't seam to be sufficient interest. Is there interest in me putting that on my schedule?
