Cars are a whole different world from FIRST robots....

As far as I know, all we've been allowed to do to control EMI is to add a small capacitor to each motor, and route wires carefully. I suppose we could add shielding to the wires from the speed controllers to the motors, too, but I've never seen it done (probably because it's not necessary).

The computers we use on the robots seem to be rather robust.
