This was going on for a while, but then we lost all function of a joystick connected to the right motor of the robot (only one motor and jaguar). Now, all the jaguars are working except for one, and its a grey jaguar with a yellow/orange blinking light.
Please help!

We have seen this problem as well. From the indications of the LED on the jag, it's an overcurrent condition. This is documented in the user guide. Our machine uses the CAN bus for control; we will be testing to see if using PWM makes any difference (I don't think so).
