Motors without Jaguars?

[Kevin Sevcik]

Temporarily, yes. Legally, no. All motors have to go through a breaker at some point for your robot to pass inspection. So to compete at a regional, you're going to need more breakers and jaguars.

Temporarily, you could either double up wires coming out of a breaker, or wire your motor to a smaller breaker. You should still have some 20A and 30A breakers left.

That could be a permanent solution. You don't HAVE to wire every Jaguar to a 40A breaker. If your robot works fine with the window motor on a 20A breaker, then you can stick with that.

Also, not every motor needs to connect to a Jaguar. Currently, only CIM motors and Fisher Price motors are required to connect to a Jaguar/speed controller. All other motors, including your window motor, could be run off a Spike Relay. Spikes need to connect to a 20A breaker, and they can only run a motor full forward or full reverse, but they're great if that fits your limitations.
