Re: Black jaguars: not working

@jhersh - The watchdog is the main watchdog in the FIRST code; it appears on the Driver Station PC as "Watchdog not Fed".

@Mike Copoli - We are able to access the web dashboard and the throttle values do what we set them to.

@Bryscus - We did have a Wait function in our code set at 0.005. After playing with different Wait Value functions (0.02, 0.5, 0.08), we noted that the error dissapeared for higher values, but the Driver Station PC complained of the Watchdog not being fed. We do think it's a problem with the 2CAN being overloaded as the lower values (0.02) are the only ones that complains about the error. We could keep playing around with values until we find the magic number that makes it work. However, we are afraid of being disqualified during competition / losing command of our robot due to the Watchdog waiting too long. What was your Wait value and do you have any recommendations?
