True, but then you would have to remove the terminating resistor on the PDP (jumper), and then put on a terminating resistor on the last item in the link. I don't know what the specs are for the terminating resistor, hence put the PDP at the other end from the roborio.

On a can bus as short as the FRC robot, you could get away from best practices. But, they make it easy for a team to be compliant, so why not?
