Re: The Importance of Finish.vi

For our standard use case in FRC, Finish.vi never gets called, so in this one case it doesn't matter. We have a rather abrupt way of switching off the power to stop our robots.

However, when you run into it again in college or at work it can become quite important to close down devices gracefully.
Finish.vi teaches you good habits for later in life.
