If you want to be really slick, leverage object orientation to the fullest, and reduce the number of places you'll have to modify code, you could create a new class called (for example) "limited_controller" that extends your current motor controller class. The code for this class basically recreates all of the methods of the superclass through use of super, and modifies only the "set" method to enforce the top limit, or divide by 2, or whatever. Then, when you initialize your motor controllers, use "new limited_controller([args])" rather than (for example) "new Talon([args])".
