Post RobotBuilder Not Appearing Solution

Hi all.

Our team uses RobotBuilder to easily add Commands, hardware, etc into our codebase. We've noticed that sometimes RobotBuilder will not appear when you open it, although it'll appear in the Windows task bar.

This can be fixed by manually deleting registry keys as the program hangs onto its x and y locations when it closes. This can be fixed by running the following registry script from FIRST Team 1073: https://gist.github.com/evinugur/8784616

To avoid the problem at all, just make sure you close RobotBuilder with the program not minimized. Minimizing a JFrame will set it's window location to be (-32000, -32000). In the meantime, I've submitted this to the authors of the program. I hope this might save some time for any other Robot Builder users out there
