Re: reverse-voltage protection

This involves a few more components, but will get the job done.

NOTE: NOT FRC LEGAL!

You could always add in a simple diode and a relay capable of handling 40A continuous.

Wire the relay to only activate when the right polarity is given. The relay closes the contact to the Jaguar and will then allow the Jaguar to operate.
