Re: Speed Controllers: Which is best?
For the record, spikes are not "motor controllers" per say...they're relays, and generally used as on/off switches for certain motors (R52 for more information)
Our team used Talons this year, and we are immensely satisfied with the result. The linear response and small footprint is incredible, not to mention how it is an enclosed motor controller so we don't have to worry too much about shavings and dust and whatnot.
As far as using Jaguars, the only reason to continue using them right now would be an inventory of them or if your team is particularly fond of CAN/2CAN.
