Voltage Output of Victors vs. Jaguars

Hi all,

While cleaning up our 2009 electronics board today, our team decided to measure the voltage output of the Victors and Jaguars. We with an 11.3V battery that the Victors were outputting the full 11.3V, but the Jaguars were only at 9.1V. We checked five Jaguars and two Victors, and each had the same result. We also checked the code and it is giving a full +1 and -1 to the Jaguar/Victor, and the Jaguar and Victors all are initialized properly as being either a "Jaguar" or a "Victor."

Has anyone else noticed this issue with the Jaguars not giving full voltage even though the code is giving it a +1 or -1? If so, we might have found the reason why our drivers wanted to switch back to the Victors on the drive motors.

Thanks.
