our programmer didnt want to push it pass one.. but were there anyteams that did that?

is it also possible to hook up speed controllers in series so that you can max out the speeds?
I don't know the specifics of how far you can push them but I heard stories about teams who had their jaguars at 1+ and they blew up and melted. At some point there were pictures of the aftermath. I think by build season next year we will know a lot more about the control system and be able to know just how far we can push this new technology.

Are team decided to stick with what we knew for this year and used only victors on our robot, next year we may switch or do a mix or not. We shall see next year.
