utter confusion

Oh, yeah: you kind of don't want to run the motor directly from the battery. I think there's some reason, but I can't remember what right now.

Also, what's the programming on the Jag?

It's connected with belts, but as bighead said before, we ran it straight from the battery (the entire mechanism, belts and all) and it ran fine. This is the code:

if (stickL.GetTrigger())
	ballSucker.Set(-1.0);
else
	ballSucker.Set(0.0);

I tried swapping the PWM cable with the one for the wheels, and the code makes the wheels spin fine.

EDIT: We just tried disabling the watchdog, and that didn't work either. The jaguar runs for a bit (slowly, not powerful enough to run the motor) and then stops.
