Imagine your robot driving full speed at your mentor that has the most trouble walking. Then carefully consider whether or not you should buy the $13 stop button.

Of course, you still need to practice while it's shipping, but please be very careful and I'd even suggest testing all the new code when the robot is up on blocks before putting it down.

As a shortcut to disable your robot without fumbling with the touchpad, just press the spacebar. This won't enable your robot, but it will disable it when it's enabled. Make sure everyone on your team knows this, especially if you're not messing with the stop button.

Yeah we just going to use the space bar which does the same thing.

F1 enables the teleop or autonomous mode by the way.

The Spacebar is a much better alternative.

The E-Stop disables your robot, and requires a hard reboot. (Or it did in 2010)

The Spacebar disables your robot, but does not require a hard reboot.

Even when we have the E-Stop plugged in, we use the space-bar.
