We've rewired to use PWM, as has at least a few other teams. Hopefully the issue is eventually resolved, but at this point we're scared off of canbus (I'm calling it can't bus for now).

I'll be curious to see if this has cropped up at any other regionals, or if it's isolated to this field.
You are using Java, right? We are too. The guy who was helping us thought that is was the Java CAN bus that had an issue. We had issues until we found that one of the jaguars' breakers was being tripped, causing the bus to die (as stated above).
