I'm quite baffled by all of the caution around CAN. Why is there so much concern? We run the entire robot on CAN now.

I find the project interesting so far.

I'd like to understand why there would be support for a particular CAN interface. I would have expected CAN to be well defined by the standard.

Looking forward to learn more.
