Re: Motors jerk; but stop responding after that.

Make sure that no matter what happens you always call a Robot Drive every time the Teleop vi is iterated and that if you're running a loop inside Teleop you continue executing a Robot Drive.

There's a thing called Watchdog used to make sure the robot safely stops in case of a program hang. If Robot Drive isn't called frequently enough, it will disable all motors.
