True.

Before the Jag, CANbus was totally unheard of. And because of the Jag, teams got their first glimpse at what smart motor controllers could do in FRC.
Glimpse for some, taste for others, a meal for very few. Rarely does improvement occur when one iteration is allowed (we made improvements to the Jaguar from Grey to Black version, but not significant enough to address the major issues). Believe it or not, we had concepts in mind for an SRX-like design back in 2012, but we couldn't convince TI to allow us to follow on. Well, it probably wound't have sold for what the SRX does had it been allowed.

Anyhow, back to the subject of the thread at hand: I need to find where I put some old power resistors...
