Re: Watch Dog stopping robot from working?

If you want to change it (enable/disable) you do so in Begin.vi inside the Open 2 Motor or Open 4 Motor vis.

The way it now works is the drive motors will shutdown if you don't call
Arcade/Tank/Holonomic Drive wthin every .1 seconds.
We are getting the same "not running fast enough" error in our Teleop.vi I can post it here, although we still need to clean it up some. But my question is we have an auto-score mode that runs some code if enabled by a driver that uses the Arcade drive, and if it isn't enabled by a driver the driver manually controls the robot with the Tank drive vi. Since we are pulling the same reference (default "Left and Right Motors") and using Arcade on one mode and Tank on another mode that can be changed back and forth, could this result in the error noted above due to the Arcade/Tank difference?

In our Teleop.vi we have no code that forces anything to pause, such as waits.
