Re: E- Stop and The New FRC Control System

Seems to me like a switch that requires a light grip would be more of a pain in the neck than a safety feature. If you aren't trained to "click the button if something bad happens" and are incredibly likely to panic in the event of an emergency, you probably shouldn't be the one holding the e-stop switch.

I do like the fact the new behavior of the e-stop this year (NC). I've nearly been run over a couple of times due to the lack of an e-stop button.
