For some reason, we were having trouble with the holomonic drive vi. During all of practice our drive was working fine. There were no troubles at all. Then all of the sudden, at the competition our robot begins to lose code every once in a while. We got an error message stating that we were starving the code, however when we got rid of all code that was unnecessary we were still getting the same problem. We decided to run a blank labview project just to test and see if it had worked out of the box, and it did. Then, I replaced the standard tank that the project comes with, with a mecanum Cartesian drive vi. We got the same message and received our robot would occasionally lose code as it ran like it used to. We ended up writing our own version of a tank using strictly motors and that worked. however, we still don't know why the mecanum drive would not work.

Our programming mentor suspects it had something to do with the safety config vi, however, I read up on it and if i read correctly it would just stop the motors if they didn't recieve and input within a certain time period. However, our problem was quite the opposite where all the values on our robot would stick when we lost robot code for the quick times that we did.

Any ideas?
