Can you elaborate on that point a little for me?
Serial or 2CAN and which programming language you used?

My team used the CAN bus successfully last year (with Java), with only a few hiccups along the way.
We have only lost 2 Jags in the 3 years that they have been First legal, one (Black) which we will be RMA'ing shortly and the other (Tan) which was killed by metal shavings.

There are a few things that can still be improved with the libraries, (Exceptions and Error checking), but for the advantages that using the CAN bus have given my team out way the disadvantages.
