ELATION!

The whole time we were trying to get the drive system working, we did not have the camera hooked up. Today I finally tried hooking up the camera while controlling drive. It worked. Silly me, I didn't realize that this code requires the camrea be connected...

Once we hooked up the camera, we reduced our fault frequency to about 1 in 5 powerups as opposed to almost every time. To fix this, we connected a SPST bat-handle toggle switch in series with the power connection to the RC. After doing that, we have not had the processor fault at all.

Hopefully this information can help any of you in fixing your problems.
