Alan - That is a good point. I tend to avoid using shift registers if at all possible, as I think it can be detrimental in troubleshooting effectively, but that's just me. And I would still be vary wary about implementing them in the FRC Teleop.vi as a poor implementation could lead to other (and possibly unforeseen) problems in the future. A better idea to me would be to use a For Loop, at least then you can definitively control how many times a loop will run before exiting, compared to a While Loop where you are more likely to be checking on an external (from the Teleop.vi) input.

But the application that you stated, using shift registers in place of multiple feedback nodes is great!
