Usually that is the case.

No, they can but are usually not sequential in the CAN chain.

Yes, we used a fully charged battery. We have experienced and characterized the issues that occur on the CAN bus when the battery power is low.

The error occurs even when the robot is barely moving. Our driver knew about this issue in the competition yesterday and purposely tried to avoid throwing the weight of the robot around. During no point in the match did he try going full speed forward (actual robot speed, not the speed of the wheels) to full speed reverse. The error mostly occurred when he was trying to turn. Turning does not absorb as much energy as a sudden shift from full forward to backward.

Is there a good value for the automatic ramp that allows us the maximum amount of control possible without causing damage or disablement of the Jaguars? We were unable to find a good value.
