"Testing" motor via Jag output terminals

[Bochek]

While in theory, the Jags should have protection for this, i would not recommend it as a standard practice.

You have to remember that when you push your robot, the motor that you'r spinning is creating a voltage the same as what you are doing with the alligator clips and battery.

I have accentually done this once before, and the Jag survived no problem. But again, I do not recommend doing that.
