Re: [DFTH] We eat what we CAN, and what we can't, we CAN...

Joe,
I can't speak to some of your post but the confusion may come from the need to control motor function via field controls. For this reason, CAN implementation requires some interaction so that E-stop, match start and stop, and automode commands take precedence over anything that might be commanded via the CAN bus. For safety, all robots must be able to be stopped when the filed controller or the personnel running the event (FTA) deems it necessary.
