[FTC]: Robots running on at end of Teleop., and strange FCS Joystick behavior.

Hi

I've had several instances where our robot continues to run at the end of of Teleop.

It appears that the Teleop program is being killed before our program has a chance to receive or respond to the Disable command. So, if we are sending driving commands to the DC Motor controllers, they continue to run until the 2.5 Sec timeout shuts them down.

Has any one else seen this sort of thing?

We are uising Labview, and have quite a few motor controllers so the program may not be looping extemely quickly.

Also, we've had a couple of instances where the FCS loses connection with the Game Controllers (the FCS screen indicates that it is missing Joystick Messages) but in one instance the robot continued to drive forward, which implies that the last joystick command was being resent, despite the fact the the FCS knew it was gone. Seems like the FCS should have either stopped sending data (to cause the Robot to go offline), or it should have sent null joystick commands. As it was, the robot ran into the wall, and smoked a motor before we could shut down the FCS.

Phil.
