Phil,
There is no check (and no way to check) in the inspection procedure that tests for devices that continue to run. We do check for the correct firmware versions and check that any Jag using CAN has the correct version for FRC. It is possible that either a failure had occurred in the controller or that the team swapped in a Jag in CAN mode that did not have FRC firmware. The Jag firmware insures that all output is disabled when the Crio issues that command.
