Re: Restart Robot Code at competition

Tonight at practice the programmers added a delay (20 seconds to be plenty long) and we still had the camera default to auto exposure about half the time. We eliminated the delay then since all it seemed to accomplish was adding time to restart the code.

We also noticed our navx not starting on boot at power on. Restarting the code also addressed that issue.

So may the issue is a more general peripheral issue at power on?

We are using the microsoft lifecam. Use for both sending to the dashboard and for processing on the roborio. We'll likely change cameras next year after these connection and exposure hassles, but it is too integrated mechanically to change now.

Greg, I'm not sure what you mean by disconnect and reconnect. I don't see that happening on its own. Do you mean to plug and unplug it? We haven't tried but could tomorrow.
