Re: Connecting Two motors to one Jaguar Controller?

It may have been a special exception because some teams, like ours, got FP motors that were only rated to 6v, so running two in series gave you the same current draw at the same voltage as one 12v FP.

Re: Connecting Two motors to one Jaguar Controller?

you could use a victor, and plus black jaguars can work the same as other jaguars

Running multiple motors of one Victor has never been allowed. No exceptions have ever been issued to bypass that rule. There was a rule exception issued that allowed teams to run 6v Fisher-Price motors at 12v, due to a mix-up in motor models supplied by F-P. But that exception did not allow teams to gang multiple motors on the same speed controller. If any teams were doing that, then their robots were in violation of the rules.
