We did this in 2011, and when it worked, it was GREAT.
However there was a problem with the CAN software in 2011 where if a limit switch was pressed and connected to the jaguar when the robot was turned on, it would cause the scrolling CAN error. (Hundreds of error messages, resulting in a robot that couldn't move)
I'm not sure if this was fixed. It probably was.
And you might still need some software to prevent the lift from going full speed into the limit switch. Ouch.
