Re: Jaguars failing
Joe,
If a Jag was opened and metallic dust found inside, I think a vacuum is more appropriate. Compressed air will force some of the dust between or under the pins of surface mount components and under the shroud that surrounds the FETs. Many teams do not realize how much metallic dust is actually generated right on their robot. Open gears and sprocket/chain interfaces for instance throw a lot of fine metal dust while they wear. The big offenders are rotating or moving parts that rub against robot frames. i.e. arm attachments, shafts with no bearings, etc.
