Re: how many people have had failing jaguars

For our kitbot we had two Jaguars, each controlling a pair of CIM motors geared together with the toughbox. It worked fine for a long time, but one day while the team was driving it around one of the Jaguars stopped working entirely. There wasn't a lot of smoke or anything--maybe just the faintest burning smell that we may have just imagined anyway--but the thing is broken.

I'm guessing that if you use them properly though, they are just fine.
