You have four limit switches and at least two encoders or analog sensors you can connect, getting all that info back and forth through two wires.

Are you certain that the implementation of CAN used on the RoboRIO will operate in a noisy environment like that? I know that some implementations are capable of that but I don't know the details behind ours (or those implementations). From what I understood the more noise you deal with the less speed the bus operates with.
