Re: CMU Camera kills robot controller if not found.

Ok no problems. I was asking because I didn't know if we are doing something wrong, or if we could write something to handle it. But sounds like we can't at this point.

What we are going to try is program a button on the OI, if the button is pressed (and held) during a power up in the Initiazation, we aren't going to excute any of the camera stuff.

If we get in a match and our camera dies, we have a robot reset on the OI, we will hold down our programmed "bypass" button, press robot reset, reboot the robot, and hope it forgets about the camera and comes back to life to finish the match...

That's our work around for now, do you think that would work?
