Justin,
While this might be a good idea in some designs, I would not suggest it for FRC robots. If a fault is occurring, you may not know it without also programming to watch for fault status. Should someone be trying to diagnose a problem, they would not have the added status of the fault light and timeout to see where the problem is occurring.
