Re: What do you think of the jaguars?

One key difference between the Jag and the Victor, the Jag does not have a conformal coating, the Victor does. I believe that this is a contributing factor to the number of failures seen.
We also mounted our Jags vertically, and have yet to lose a single one on either our main machine or our practice bot. I think that since particulate seems to be one of the single biggest factors in the failure of the Jags thus far, vertical mounting is (at the moment) the way to go.
