Re: Watchdog!?!?!?!

A few notes on some of the things that have appeared in this thread:
1. I recommend disabling the watchdog entirely. This should be done by simply entering GetWatchdog.SetEnabled(false), NOT by "killing" the watchdog. That causes even more problems. I found this feature to be more of a pain than anything.
2. We have discovered that, if anything goes wrong in autonomous regarding code issues, you will be unable to retain control during teleop unless you reset, so resetting the system from the DS is critical. As such, we went through the process with our drive team. I highly recommend all programmers make sure that at least one driver knows how to do it. Wayne TenBrink posted instructions earlier on how that's done.
