Re: Connecting Two motors to one Jaguar Controller?

Running multiple motors of one Victor has never been allowed. No exceptions have ever been issued to bypass that rule. There was a rule exception issued that allowed teams to run 6v Fisher-Price motors at 12v, due to a mix-up in motor models supplied by F-P. But that exception did not allow teams to gang multiple motors on the same speed controller. If any teams were doing that, then their robots were in violation of the rules.
