Tahreer,
Please check the wire size requirements. If the Jaguar is working and the motor it controls is moving, your wire size is too small. If the jaguar is not working, it is connected backwards or has failed. Metric wire size has been included in this year's robot rules to make it easier for teams outside the US.

A. 12 AWG (2.052mm) or larger diameter wire must be used for all circuits protected by a 40A circuit breaker.
B. 14 AWG (1.628mm) or larger diameter wire must be used for all circuits protected by a 30A circuit breaker.
