That may be true, however on the flipside of that there are teams using the same amount of Victors and have not had any problems with those either. Since our rookie year in 05' out of the 22 victors we've used, we've had a failure with 1. Which was due to carelessness. (Metal Shavings)
As much as some people like to put faith into the Jaguars, there have been too many mishaps over such a short period for them to be trustworthy in my book.
The combination of the large footprint, and less than reliable track record is what will be keeping Jaguars off of our robots until the eventual phasing out of the IFI products.
