Re: Troubles with Talon SRX in Follower mode
...additional Talon follower (kFollower) mode info...

We had a problem where Talon follower mode was initialized in our Chassis subsystem constructor, but those talons would not follow when first powering on the robot.

If we just restarted the robot code using the driver station, follower mode worked correctly.

We discovered that if we instantiated RobotDrive, did a single call to set the drive motors to zero, and then set up follower mode in the constructor, it all worked correctly.

As a failsafe we will be re-initializing the drive system followers in TeleopInit and AutonomousInit.
