Marc,

Thanks for the reply. We were using a reasonably powerful laptop (something much faster than the KOP Classmate), so I doubt it was a straight-out processor speed problem. Although, we never had a chance to test a new laptop during the competition, so the laptop we used could be a culprit. On the other hand, the FTA at our event (Mark McLeod) did spend a few minutes with us after one of our matches reviewing our driver station log for any abnormalities. Nothing showed up that caught his eye. In fact, everything looked fairly normal.

I'm suspicious of a deeper-level corruption because some basic controls on the robot became disabled that don't depend on successful Dashboard-to-robot communication. It was rather inexplicable.

For our last two matches, I removed all of the SD VIs and just hard-coded the values. For those matches, at least, the problem seemed to go away. I just wish there was some way to test everything in an FMS environment.
