CAN Speed Controllers need an enable 'flag' to be sent out over CAN before they output anything. That enable 'flag' (or lack thereof) presumably wouldn't affect devices that it doesn't need to.

The VRM does have enough capacity to run the RoboRIO, but that configuration will most likely not be legal for competition.
In my opinion, the hardest part of the competition is not that actual manufacture of the robot, but the design process. It is the enginners that go through the design process all the time that will have the edge in this competition, not the best machinist. - Wetzel [more]
