Re: Loss of DS control authority while motors still operate

We're using the command based programming model, so the scheduler is within wpilib.

My primary concern is that the robot is not controllable under these circumstances, and having it under control is usually FRC's prime directive.
I guess in the broadest sense it is "controllable" since changing the DS to disable (& presumably emergency stop) does disable the motors.
