Okay, let me clear some things up:
I had no driver station connected when this code was run. (I was just testing static connectivity, without dealing with the enabled/disabled stuff. This is to help isolate the components of the control system)
The serial port on the cRIO is capable of 14 KB/s (cRIO-FRC operating instructions, found under c:/program files/National Instruments/NI RIO/manuals/crio-frc_operating_instructions.pdf)
The CAN transceivers on the Jaguars are capable of 1 MB/s (page 7 of

EDIT:
Sorry for the confusion, I had several facts wrong. 14 kb/s is the minimum speed of the CAN transceivers in the jaguars.
Thank you Ether for catching my mistakes.
