1 year ago My understanding is this section is written to guide teams through building/wiring the KOP, and these are the motor controllers that are provided to rookie teams in the KOP. That being said, there are enough motor controllers of various kinds "in the wild" (e.g. loaned from other teams or reused from past seasons) that it might make sense to add a list of all the legal motor controllers (with a caveat/link about the official list being defined by the rules), because a team following this guide that are not rookies might not know what they're looking for unless other controllers are listed.
Lookin at section https://docs.wpilib.org/en/stable/docs/zero-to-robot/step-1/how-to-wire-a-robot.html#motor-controller-signal-wires
Based on the PWM and CAN tabs, the goal is to provide general descriptions for PWM and CAN motor controllers, however the section content specifically references only one particular product. Seems odd given the large number of CTRE motor controllers out in the wild.
