We get 2 Victors and one Jaguar in our kit of parts. Then we get two more of each with the IFI PDV. If we use Victors we dont have to buy any for our drive train. But if we use Jaguars we have to buy one more controller for the robot.

Sorry if this has already been answered. From what I have read there is no use to the Jaguars unless you use CAN. Due to use being a rookie team I doubt we will end up using CAN anyways so there will be no use for that.


Thanks for the help.
Please stop scaring the rookie teams by talking number of minimum number of motor controllers. The question is Victor or Jag? As rookie team couple of years back smoked 2jags, after that victor has been our fav, 888 is awesome (disclaimer: we are not in the top 10 teams, but did better than others).
