I'd be surprised if the grey Jaguars are discontinued without a direct replacement. Grey Jaguars allow the CAN bus to be daisy-chained throughout the Jaguars in the robot. The black Jaguar connects to the cRIO, the remaining (grey) Jaguars are connected in series via RJ11 4-wire patch cables. I think we'll see many more teams implementing CAN in their future robots.

The Black Jaguars can also be daisy chained. The outer 2 pins of the Serial/CAN port go to the RS232 connector, but the inner 4 act the same as all other CAN ports.
Curse those filthy wrench-swinging rivet-popping screw-driving hammer-smashing mechanical barbarians. Hand over the robot to the programmers! - cjl2625 [more]
