Description

For testing, it would be useful to have the ability to toggle and completely disable a mechanism to ensure it doesn't activate while testing other components. For example, disabling the drive base motion while testing elevator without having to actually disable all driving code.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing component architecture to find where each mechanism is enabled. Add a boolean toggle for each component, and modify the periodic methods to check the toggle before running. Consider a parent class or utility that manages disable toggles.
