I cant remember what the joysticks do when nothing is connected - logically it must default to 0 or 254? Im sure it defaults to something, but to depend on that with a live machine online is a little risky.

Whenever we powerup our bot on the cart, or on the floor while we are messing with it, we always chock the wheels

and pull the fuse on the compressor with the pressure release valve open.
