Re: Watchdog!?!?!?!

I have seen a similar issue on Team 2022's robot where their auton would cause the watchdog message. This was caused by their labview implemenation to tight-loop which prevented the watchdog from being fed. Basically your program should "feed" the watchdog periodically so that if your program does something bad and "hangs" it will fail to feed the watchdog thus causing a timeout which will halt your motors. Are you using labview or windriver?
