Just wondering but if one of your breakers pop, wont having both wires from one Talon/Victor sitting sde by side make 2 Talons/Victors lose power?

We haven't had that issue come up yet. We ran talons/Jags like this for off season/demos though out the summer and leading up to the season and never had that issue.

I would just be wary because the breakers on the PD Board are setup so that red and black opposite of each other are on the same breaker and if it pops, 2 would go down instead of just one.

Thank you for your concern. We will keep a close eye for that and fix it if the problem comes up.

How are the Talons working out compared to the Jaguars and the Victors?

They are working pretty good for us right now. We done most of our testing and they seem to work really good just for driving around and shooting. Our next testing will be to put it though some pushing matches with our other robots and see how they handle. It will give us a good idea as our practice bot uses jags and our competition bot is using talons.

I don't understand what you're saying here.

The Power Distribution Board is intended to be wired so that the red/power and black/return terminals for each breaker-protected branch circuit are adjacent, not opposite. Regardless, all of the black terminals are connected directly to the (-) battery terminal, and the breaker only interrupts current to the red terminal.
