Sub-Class CANTalon to represent 3 motors

Unless there is a function in CANTalon that simply IDENTIFIES the CANTalons, that doesn't DO anything that needs to be overridden (eg public String getType() {return "CANTalon"}, it would be simpler. He has a point, there is no reason TO implement CANTalons unless there is said identifying function

CANTalon does implement SpeedController, by extending it my class inherits all the functions, plus the way CANTalons identify themselves

Ultimately, it comes to not having to call the super constructor, and I will go with notmattlythgoe that directly implementing SpeedController is better
