How many teams plan on using CAN this year?

Provided that nothing changes in the rulings about the use of CAN for the robots between now and kickoff. How many teams are going to be using CAN this year on there robots?

I'm trying to decide if we should look at investing in a set of the new jaguars for this year(1 on the robot for the CRIO to CAN bridge, and one spare) providing that we don't get one in the KoP.

Being a network/phone technician I already have all the tools/cable that we will need for making the CAN cables. One thing that I really like about them over the PWM is the connector. Seems like it will stay in place much easier and should be easier to crimp. then PWM cables.

Another thing is the possibility of hanging the encoders off them. Seems like if your Jags are located near the motor/encoders then you won't have the 4 conductor wire for the encoder and the 3 conductor wire for the PWM needing to run back to digital sidecar.
