Re: [FTC]: Robots running on at end of Teleop., and strange FCS Joystick behavior.
Last year, while we were using LabVIEW this caused us some problems. We ended up coding our own stop in our program a few fractions of a second before the match was due to end. That way we stopped all the motors just before the FCS issued the stop and LabVIEW maybe, or maybe not stopped things. Giving up a few milliseconds for a clean stop was a good tradeoff for us. It's a 2 minute round so we just ran a timer starting when we saw teleop running.
