Hello jetsons...

Team4915 is using a TK1 this year (for the first time) and we wondered if anyone has thoughts on best-practices for ensuring that vision software is running during competition.

The goal is to ensure our attached usb camera and associated vision services are running across power-down/restart events.

Currently, we're hoping that installing our software as an init.d service will just work, but we're encountering issues that may be related to intermittent network connectivity (during the reboot sequence). We've also seen some threads about usb power and auto-login may also be contributing to this.

Our current workaround is to ssh in and restart our services, but this seems fragile in a real competition setting.

Any comments are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
