Wow... so you think Bill Beatty and his team smashed their Jaguars with a hammer? Sorry... there's people posting about problems in this thread that I consider trustworthy. They've been in FIRST a long time and know how to properly handle and wire up a speed controller. When Bill says they have 2 failures, I believe him and I know they didn't screw up on their end.

Daniel, I don't think anyone is advocating that we not provide info to LM. I'm just pointing out that saying the failure rate is only 0.2% and "that kind of failure rate is acceptable to me" don't give me a warm fuzzy feeling. That's a personal opinion - everyone else is free to think whatever they wish.
