Re: Problem with Robot Status Light

You may run into a problem if your code causes an unhandled exception. Check your Netbeans log to see if you are causing an Exception (it will say something like "Robots don't quit! Unhandled Exception")

This has happened for things as simple as SmartDashboard IO, which is why I put all SmartDashboard inputs into try{} statements now.

Something to try if you don't see RSL blinking LED: create a new instance of robot code (new SimpleRobot project, for example), and just load that directly. The robot won't do anything, but the RSL should still work if the code is valid.
