Re: CAN

Never had serial can issues... the only jittering we had was due to a programming bug (slow code and PID do not mix).

It went so well (once we figured it out) that I even wrote a whitepaper on it...

BTW, the robot ran mecanum to drive, and had 4 other motors in use on CAN (2 arm lift motors, a wrist motor, a claw motor, and a minibot launch motor). everything was smooth.
