Could you be a little clearer?

At the competitions, there is an emergency stop button in the player's station that the driver can push if, for some reason, something goes wrong. As far as having an E-stop button for your controls, if you're giving a demonstration and need to stop the robot, just pull the power going to the O/I or if it's tethered, pull the cable out. Our team has "the box". "The box" plugs into the power port on the O/I, and runs off of a small 12v battery. There's a switch on the box that, when pushed, cuts power to the O/I and shuts the robot off if something goes wrong. I'll see if I can get a picture of it up sometime soon.

I hope that helped!
