If you have 4 jags and 1 vic, put the 4 jags on drive and the vic on position control. I would do that much much much faster than putting a drive motor on a jag and a drive motor on a vic. The software will probably thank you too.

What is the advantage of using the CanJaguar's position control? You have analog inputs on the cRio, and since programmable controllers in FRC (back in the day... 1997?) people have been writing simple code to control position.
