Hi, I'm the TI guy who was in the pits with 2865. We did swap out a bunch of jags, but in the end it was two CAN cables that were open circuit (that we eventually found with a multimeter). I've got the old jags here and we'll be taking a look at them to confirm - but I'm pretty sure they're OK. Certainly moving the robot shouldn't damage the Jaguars - we do some very demanding tests for that. Really sorry to hear though that it didn't work out for 2865.
