Re: Talons Problem
Are you using PWM or CAN to control the Talons? Can you post your code? Does your robot work fine in autonomous?

Re: Talons Problem
Have you calibrated all 4 talons? Usually "phantom signals" are attributed to calibration issues.

Re: Talons Problem
You say the nonworking pair of Talons "starts" blinking when you enable the robot. What are they doing when the robot is disabled?
