LOL, yeap it is almost bag and tag already.
Time for robot delivery heroics!
Seriously, not to discourage those who have the time and motivation but there is nothing wrong with the recommended way. So most of those I know that made Jaguars work and other interesting unusual CAN things on an FRC robot (including my Propeller based CAN ESC) leveraged the off season, or knowledge acquired by someone off season, or even knowledge and resources outside of FRC channels.
It is wonderful to give that extra dimension, but as the complexity climbs you leave the common denominator behind. FIRST picked a design for the CAN bus that should make everyone work in the 6 week build season and then made sure to build process around it. We should acknowledge potential alternatives exist but not create a situation where the CSA job requires a CAN BERD/BERD in the spare parts kit.
