Re: Speed Controller Preference
The ausTIN CANs used 6 Jaguars and 2 Victors. The Jags went to our 3-wheel swerve drive, and the Victors were on our turret and shooter. We also had two Spikes on our lift (one feeding roller and one belt).
Personally, I'm very impressed with the Jaguars, more so than the Victors. We've been careful enough (in general) not to kill any motor controllers this year other than individuals' mistakes, but the Jaguars have kept cooler and provided more consistent and linear power than the Victors. I'm also very excited about using the CAN bus next year, it'll be great to teach serial communication protocols (none are really being taught from the ground up, even in FIRST, all of the networking is embedded deep in the magic boxes).
