They also used Talon SRs on their practice robot, which is another PWM controlled motor controller. You may want to talk to Richard Wallace to see their experience with the Sparks and Talon SRs, but there is no other CAN bus based motor controller that I know of.
Jaguars use CAN. However, they are discontinued and to use them over CAN requires creating a special CAN cable that terminates in a phone jack.
