We've been trying to replicate the issues others claim to have, but we have been unable to.
I only know of one robot where the jaguar-related lockup occurred, that being a ball kicker on 2783's 2012 bot (why I this paper was wrote in the first place).

In that case, I was told that the intermittent issue stopped occurring after an emergency swap from serial-CAN to PWM. I am pretty sure that all the Jags on that bot were black Jags.

What method are you using to control your motors?
