Re: Speed Controllers: Which is best?

We used Talons this year and were very happy with the small footprint, great response time, and linear output. They are very robust and do not break at all. We used Jags for the past three years, and I was never a fan of them. They constantly broke from metal shavings and had numerous errors throughout the years. It was nice to be able to use CAN, but I found that there were more problems with that than anything else. I have worked a little with Victors on old robots, and they were fine, but they took up more space and had a less linear response curve. If I were to pick any, though, I would go with Talons--they don't break!
