1. I get from you post and another I just saw that your team has an issue with Jags failing. Is this correct?
2. How exactly are they failing? Plumes of smoke? Blinking red fault light that clears? Failing in one direction?
3. Are they grey or black jags that are failing?
4. What are the jags powering? Please include details like what motor, what the mechanism is like and what gear ratio/gearbox is being used?
5. Is it possible that the failing jaguars got metal shavings in them?

1. yes are jags are failing
2. one was fried, 2 stopped working no smoke no sound of components popping, one lost calibration ( we reset it it works). and one for some reason flips the values.
3. the black ones are failing
4. 12v DC motors on a CIMple box
5. the two that stopped working suddenly might have gotten metal shavings in them
