Jaguar Amperage Flow

[Verrazano]

Hello my name is Harrison, but you can call me Verrazano. I am from FRC team 3512.

currently I am researching Jaguar amperage flow and control, Last year we ran into a major problem we burned out several Jaguars during competition due to pushing against other robots and frying the motor controllers.

through my research I found that there are two possible ways to control the flow of amperage through the Jaguars.
1) Wire the connection between the Jaguar and motor with a resetting breaker.

2) Writing code that receives the amperage flow value then shuts down the motor temporarily until the flow is normal.

The easiest of the two ways being to do it using code, which falls into my hands as software lead. seeing as I am unsure of an existing function to get the amperage flow it would be a little difficult.

It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help us, by giving us some pointers on code or if they have any knowledge of this.

Thank you for you time in reading this and your input.
