So, if you happen to lose a jag in auto for example, then you don't have a tele.
Where if the same thing happened on PWM, you would only be crippled for that motor the JAG controlled not the whole bot.
Handle Exceptions!

Is this concerning LabVIEW?
Either way I'm a little lost as to what an exception is. I currently don't have a copy of LabVIEW (due to miscommunication and lack of reading the manual, it was generally accepted that there was a limited number of licences per team...so i wasn't allowed to bring it home and play with it), so when i get back to school on Wednesday (NYC is on spring break
) I'll get the disc from my mentor. I'll probably be back around Friday to discuss these exceptions more.
