Re: Canbus pros and cons
In addition to being to use the Jag's intelligence to actually control the motors, being able to use them for diagnostics is pretty handy as well.
We used them to check out our motors and gearboxes, and when there was a problem, it was much more convincing to be able to say "this motor is drawing 10x the current to go the same speed" vs "this does not sound right". It turned out that a Super Shifter gear was accidentally assembled into one of our Toughboxes. The only cons I believe stemmed from the technology being new (CAN IDs would randomly reset, the C++ library was a bit buggy and was rereleased too many times during the season IMO), but I don't expect to see these problems again. Overall, you can do everything that CAN provides other ways, but it is very nice to have everything in one place. I would recommend it.
