Go to Post The weight sounds about right, too. If you need more than 65 pounds for your manipulator, then the drivetrain isn't the part you should be redesigning... - s_forbes [more]

Re: [C++] Use CAN Talons in RobotDrive

Turning off the safeties in the CANTalons is not sufficient. They are already off (they default off). The problem is RobotDrive has it's own safety enable.

Anyway if you are still seeing the EXACT symptom of "...Motor Safety Timeout..." errors in the DS then you need to remedy it. Even with the PWM workaround (eek) you're still generating errors in your DS log. That's going to prevent your drive team from seeing other reported errors (because they will get used to seeing errors in that area of the DS".

m_robotDrive->SetSafetyEnabled(false); will absolutely prevent MS errors. If you are still seeing them then something is very wrong, and it will likely be a problem throughout the season.
