how many jaguars are legal to have on a robot?

[EricH]

As long as you don't go over size, weight, or cost constraints, as many as you like.

[clayman]

Just make sure they're all somewhere where they won't be easily filled with aluminum shavings, or guard them with a bag while working above them.

[Colin P]

120 pounds worth

[cgmv123]

As many as can be plugged into the power panel/digital sidecar.

[DonRotolo]

There is no limit other than the practical one (weight, size, volume, I/O ports on 2 digital sidecars, etc). You ARE limited in which motors you can use though. Realistically few teams use less than 4 (4 CIM drive motors) and more than 10.

There are a few teams who use zero.

Those teams do tend to use IFI Victor speed controllers, though.

motors, Eric, Don's talking about motors.

Good point. I don't think there's ever been a team that powered their robot entirely by pneumatics, springs, servos, and gravity.

who wants to take that as a challenge for next year? I would have so much respect for that team....

That would be TOO cool...
