Re: CAN
We used CAN for our drive system last year with 4 Jaguars & 2CAN on PORT2 of our CRio and didn't have any problems or issues with CAN.

The keys are:

1) 100% proper wiring and termination for the CAN network. Any faultiness with that you will have issues.

2) A good charged battery. Low battery will cause brown outs.

3) Make sure your Telop code is executing under 20ms.

We'll be using CAN again this season with 2CAN on PORT1 with the new 4 port CRIO.
