Re: Talons, Jaguars and Victors - where do you stand?

We used a combination of Talons and Jaguars this year. I was very impressed with the Talons' resilience; we lost connection one match and ran into a wall, stall all 4 CIMs for the remainder of the match. One talon burned, but the rest were undamaged.It was later determined that the burned talon was due to a wiring fault.
We will probably use Talons for all drive motors in the future, and Jaguars for sensor-based or precision applications.
