True. It's silly, but the only reason we are using CAN over PWM is because they snap in versus sit in (like PWMs). Haha!

We are using the drive train jags (count 4) constantly, obviously. The other 3 are used not as much, so maybe those 3 can go to PWMs.

We would really not like to switch to PWMs since we've had problems with them popping out during a match. I guess we can bring out the hot glue or something :-)

Thanks for the replies!

Anyone else have any ideas? :-)
