Re: E-Stop Lag... now part of our arm is broken

As far as E-Stops not working how they should, we had a scary occurrence today at the WI regional. During one of the qualifying matches, i tried to move the telescoping part of our arm using position mode. The encoder wasn't plugged in correctly, so it kept on going outward. About halfway out, i slammed on the E-stop button, but the arm kept going. Even after hitting it numerous times, the arm never stopped until it ran itself off of the ball screw
