I agree, that's why I came here to share my lack of knowledge so hopefully we can not have the bug again. It was termed the double timeout bug by one of the NI guys, Kevin something. He said he had seen it before and hated it.

It kept giving us errors as if begin was finishing after periodic tasks and such were opened, refnum errors and such that didn't actually cause anything to break once the robot started, but it did put out LOTS of errors. I can post the code later today when I go to the shop if you'd like.
