I am hoping that this can be solved by enabling the overcurrent protection by default, but allowing it to be disabled via CAN if a team knows what they are doing, or they do not care if the Jaguar resets. This way, if it does reset, the overcurrent protection will be reenabled when it does.

There are plenty of teams who know what they are doing and elect to not use the CAN bus, ourselves included. The current limit seemed to be a bit too "safe" and was pretty annoying.
