Examples are meant to show you how to do things and try them out. They are not intended to be edited significantly, and they certainly should not be turned into a program for your competition robot. One of the LabVIEW tutorials should tell you how to take what's in an example and put it in a true robot project.

It was never the intention to use this program for competition, this is just a program for one of our test robots. If it could be a problem, I could re-do the code in a brand new project.

What makes you think it is cycling power? Does the Robot Signal Light turn off? Do you get any indication on the Driver Station of the battery voltage dropping? Do the DS logs show the reason for the lost connection? Are you using the USB connection, a wired ethernet cable, or wireless? I apologize for the flood of questions, but I think you're going to have to give a lot more information before you can get good help.

I appreciate the questions, it's no problem. We are using an wireless connection and every time the connection cut out, there were no logs on the driver station minus the usual "lost connection". What we did find out however was that one of the connections on the breakout was loose causing a spark when the robot jerked too quickly. We tested this by manually recreating this spark ourselves and the power cycled through the robot just like we had seen before. We believe this was our problem and that it is now fixed.
