 Although I haven't coded that in yet, are we supposed to?

 I'm not exactly sure how to do it but you can enable interrupts during the operation and link a physical button to the interrupt pin on the board which triggers a reset coded in the ISR.

Can't we just cut the power, it doesn't have to be strictly a microcont thing right?

this seems like a serious flaw in the whole immediate stop plan....you could reset the PIC, but if your software is causing the thing to go mad I don't think that would work out so well

We're just gonna blow a fuse and cut off power where it comes in to the robot.
