Re: Jaguar Meltdown

My team has had 3... 4 jags fail now, and we're going back to victors. I don't think we will be using jags again. We fried 1 last year and this year we fried 3, they replaced the one we fried last year at the Greater Kansas City regional last year... we didn't burn it up at the competition, but had it with us for no reason.

the first one that fried this year "Popped" when it went out, I think the capacitor (big blue thing in the middle, for those that don't know) might have blown. It sounded like a capacitor shorting or "firing"

... I don't know if that helps or anything
