This peaked my interest since many teams are using Jags.
Few questions
What current / fuse were you using (40, 30, 20)?
Was the motor in stall ?
Were you cutting any metal near the Jags ?

We have backup victors from previous years just in case we fry a Jag

Burnt out two jags after weeks on our practice robot. Thankfully we fully loaded our competition robot with good ol' VEXPro Victors..

Team 2472 has had jaguars fail in the final round of a regional. Once the robot was reset, they worked fine (This is most likely jaguars, but we're not positive). No changes were made to cause this.

We also had an experience of a jaguar break in the final round at a mock regional. No changes were made to cause this.

I emphasize finals to show that they were reliable up to that point so most likely it isn't an electrical or programming issue.

Team 571 had a jag fail after just 15 minutes of driving on ship day. Normal use hooked up to a CIM not running at stall just smoked. We use a removeable electronics bord so no chips of any kind get into our electronics. We suffered a similar issue at BAE in he elims last year. Thinking about campaining to go back to good ol' Victors...

We've had two Jaguars fail. With both of them, the lights were behaving normally going from solid red to solid green depending on control input, but they had no output to the motors. No smoke was involved; they just quick working.

We have had 3 jaguars fail on us. My advice is buy twice as many as you need

Now that TI has bought Luminary Micro, does anyone know who we contact to have our Jaguars RMA'ed?
