Team 2809 had 1 failure

We (team 2809) had a Jaguar controller fail while testing our robot. It worked fine for about 10 minutes, then suddenly stoppped working, accompanied by a slight burning smell. It does not work in either direction, and has a slow flashing red light (ie fault condition). The Jaguar was driving a CIM motor, connected to a gearbox, driving a shooter roller via chain. We carefully opened up the Jaguar to see if any metal shavings could have got in it, but there were none, and no visible sign of damage.

We also had another Jaguar missing the PWM connector, but I put one in and it works fine.

I have emailed all the requested data to Luminary and will provide pictures tomorrow. For now, we are using a Victor instead.
