Quick Reboot - is it possible?

As part of another thread, I had a thought - is there a way to very quickly restart the main robot process?

Right now, you can
  • Hard reset the robot (turn the main breaker off, then on). This often takes over a minute before everything is back.
  • Soft reset the robot (from the driver station, reboot the cRIO). 30-70 seconds until robot is fully operational.

But is there a way to just remotely kill the robot program and restart it? I would hope that would be much faster than either option above.
