: We wrote a few lines of code that checked for several of the values coming in being 0. If they are zero then we initialize everything to neutral.

I just checked the code and we are doing something different this year. We are automatically skipping the first packet, not worrying about whether it contains bad data.

We are using a byte in the scratchpad ram to let us keep track of whether it is the first packet. We check that byte and if it is zero, then we set it to a 1, set both wheels output to neutral (not sure if that is necessary) and goto the beginning of the loop (before the serin command) otherwise we continue with the main program.
