Driver Station no longer has stop button?

[Doc Wu]

The Estop buttons were a pain anyway. Disable is sufficient. We operated most of the time with the estop disabled. It was better to go through the extra steps on startup to disable it than to have to go through a reboot every time it was pressed.

I'm dissapointed that they made the spacebar perform an estop. It's too easy to hit by accident.

Is there a way to change the stop key to some other keyboard key?

You'll get used to it; we sure did. At first we made a lot of mistakes, but the pain of manually rebooting the robot again and again teaches one quickly

Not that I know of. My guess is that the answer is no, especially because they want anyone, including FIRST Volunteers or safety inspectors, to be able to instantly emergency stop your machine while testing in the pits if it is being unsafe. Making the spacebar a standard "e-stop" button would facilitate this.
