Re: CAN on the entire 2012 robot

The problem with using Jaguars is that if you put too much load on it, or change motion, or even change direction quickly, they reset and take a while to reboot and do not re init with the cRIO. This has killed our robot in the past and, even we had problems with it this year. In our Gallileo division we has a team run over our flipper witch ran on a jag, and when it was going up and applied too much force and reset our jag and killed the flipper for the remainder of the match. Using a jag does not affect your field connection issues. That is your bridge and their FMS.
