Re: Do not use Jaguars with window motors

This is a known issue for Chief Delphi and FIRST. It is the reason for R47-C that allows you to remove the locking pins from the window motor (helps with Jags and Victors).
The best practice with window motors is:
-run them with Spike relays
-never stall them
-don't connect 2 of them together
They are very particular motors designed solely for car windows, not robots.
