Any code for driving the motors (or servos?) is disabled, but apparently the code is still trying to collect images from the camera. We will remove all of that. I don't know if it is (was) in the same loop as the drive code.

We will also verify all the device setup (IP addressing, etc.).

To professorX: To reset the cRio from the DS, simultaneously press all three white buttons on the DS and hold for a second or so. A new menu will come up and you can "select" reset. It takes about 20 seconds, but thats a lot better than sitting idle for the entire match. I recommend you test/practice in the pit on tether.

Thanks to all for your help on this.
Thank you for the help.
