Re: CAN reliability

I haven't seen the kind of information in your program, but I've found that CAN is VERY unreliable if there are any problems on your robot that affect the code (primarily its execution speed), the jags will become intermittent (watchdogs I think)

When you were running this, was the robot disabled? If so, is there any change when enabled and you can see if the status LEDs blink?
