Reason for jaguar short?
Hey CD,
Our team recently attended a programming workshop that required bringing the entire control system to a new location (no small feat). During the workshop, the system started losing power and the power source read that 5.7 amps were being drawn. After disconnecting everything, we found that there was a shorted Jaguar attached to a broken Wago connector. Is there a reason why the broken connector would have caused a short/are the two problems even related? Where can we purchase a replacement 40amp connector for the power distribution block? Do CIMs need to run on Jaguars this year or can we legally replace it with an 884 victor? Thanks, -Betsy |

Don't quote me, but somewhere I remember reading you can use the victors. I think it might have been on that flow chart that came with the control system, so check that out.

You can use Victor 884s or Jaguars interchangably, from what I can understand.

I just watched the "your in control" vid from the kickoff, and it says you can use either so I guess that would be a yes.

You could download
http://usfirst.org/community/frc/content.aspx?id=452 and read the rules...section 8 answers most of these questions, but it wouldn't hurt to read it all. Also don't expect to be able to repair the distribution board...but you can buy a new one. http://andymark.biz/am-0265.html (not cheap) |
