Hey, that's a safety feature we're having in hybrid mode! We're using one of the programmable comparators to detect (and generate and interrupt) if we get a G-spike indicating a crash (a lot like a car with airbags) and in the event of a crash will kill all the motors to protect the robot. Now if we can just get it to call OnStar...
