Re: CAN reliability

My team used CAN this year on our robot and found some issues with connection. We found that when polling for information while sending output information to fast the jaguars would lose connection briefly. The bandwidth afforded by a serial connection is a lot less than that of a CAN connection. This creates a big chokepoint on sending and receiving information from the jaguars.
