(Yes that was serious.) And my question now is how on earth do you wire a PWM to a Jaguar? As i recall from my rushed intro last year the PWM can either hook into the sidecar or the cRIO slot??? And then go to either Jaguar or sensor??? (My knowledge on this part is REALLY fuzzy) I would prefer a diagram but if you have some words to post that will be very clear that would be great.

Sorry I don't have a picture. But what you do is use servo wires (Red, white, and black with three pronged push connectors) to connect the Jaguar to the Sidecar. The sidecar uses a serial (I think that is what it is called - it is really big) to connect to the cRIO. The Jaguar hooks up to the power supply via the red and black screws, and to the motor via the green and white screws. Hope this helps!

EDIT: Definitely use the diagrams above
