From my experience with speed controllers outside of FIRST, the "continuous limits" seem to be rated very differently from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Some will break from even very short periods of current significantly over their continuous limit.

My observations aren't very scientific, but I think it's a fair of Greg to wonder how the Jaguars will hold up to FIRST use; As far as I know, there is little to no data available on them being tested. Also, the Victors seemed to be substantially higher quality than similar lines of motor controllers; I hope this quality is mirrored in the Jaguars.
