It's not possible to guarantee your drivetrain will never, ever in an FRC match draw current that would possibly reset the jaguars.

Due to a shortage in speed controllers, we redid the drive on a practice bot with jags and they tripped all the time. This was the same drivetrain that ran flawlessly all season (2011) in regards to speed controllers.
