It would be really nice to handle absent talons more gracefully #4

At the moment, the timeouts cause undesired behavior in the robot. But our code doesn't have any mechanism to react to those timeouts and stop trying to make contact with those talons.

We'd need to be careful to design this mechanism such that one glitch doesn't result in freezing the robot for the whole match.

This sounds like something that could be useful in 2020

If we use only Spark MAX controllers instead of Talons this season, then this issue may become moot.

We are using both Spark Max's and Talons this season, but this isn't high priority so I'm going to Icebox it.
