I think this is excellent work and very valuable to the whole community but I've said that before.

I do want to point out that there's another issue with a brown out that may not be considered.

If you use encoders and the Jaguars brown out the pulse counts will no longer be accurate. In a velocity control sense where the system can move freely all the way around that's not a big issue. However, in a system with limits and no limit except the encoder readings that could be an issue to consider.
