Go to Post So remember, we may be envious of teams who can do water jet cutting and has every possible monetary and engineering advantage, but there are many more people who are envious of every team who has a chance to compete. - Rombus [more]

Re: Jaguar VS Victor

Personally, I find it really surprising to see everyone slamming Jags on reliability. Least year, we used 7 of them on the robot. The year before, we used 4. Year before that, we used 2. We've only had 1 issue with them between 7 different official competitions (and who knows how many off season events) competition, and that was due to the limit switch input on one getting screwed up (it worked if we jiggled our inputs for the limit switch, but replacing the Jag fixed it entirely). That Jag still works with jumpers. We've never burned out a Jag or a Victor in 6 years of competing.

The problem is, you seldom hear about teams using Jags successfully. It's the teams that have problems with them that come and post, so it looks like there's a much larger problem than there actually is.
