FMS Differences with motor safety?

[Andrew Lobos]

Have you tried running the robot in the pit using practice mode? If you're only testing teleop in the pit, you won't be affected if your robot has a bug in autonomous, while the field will go through both states.

Also, while I'm not sure what difference this would make, the DS won't necessarily connect to the robot immediately after boot. You need to wait for the radio to boot and the field to be configured for your team #. To emulate this in the pit, turn on the robot with the DS unplugged, wait for your camera and cRIO to boot, then connect the DS and run in practice mode.
