Great to hear!

We just spent 2 days at Buckeye tracking down Jag-related issues, which ultimately turned out to be a loose wire in a power feed to one of them. (We have the black ones on our robot.)

While we've used the additional features of the Jags to great benefit in the past, the fact that any one of a number of issues can shut down the entire string is problematic (and explains why a number of teams won't use them.)

There are CAN repeaters that would isolate the segments, but they seem pretty pricey for FRC applications.
