Re: Jaguars
I am unaware of any poll on motor controllers that would be FRC wide. Although it would be interesting to see, especially if you could organize it by region (with Michigan being one of the major regions to watch).
As for the Jaguars, we used them exclusively this year, but it was mainly because of the CAN functionality. Talking about metal shavings, we have fried two this way, but in the Finger Lakes regional, we chopped off a full inch of off the top of our robot with the Jaguars still on (not advised, we forgot to remove all the electronics while doing this, lucky us), and they did not fry from any shavings coming off of the supports.
We also have a large number of Victors, and we used to be an exclusive Victor team, but we use the build in PID on a Jaguar a lot and since we know the Jaguar well from using it on every shooter wheel, we have used them on Drive Train since we know how to use them.
We have never used Talons, but based on what we have heard, it sounds like they would be better for drive train purposes on our team, but due to the built in PID on a Jaguar, we would still be using Jaguars for manipulators.
