Enabling yields one "Watchdog not fed" flash

Hi, our robot's been on the blocks for a week or two being built and the electronics board being redesigned; I've edited the code quite a bit during that time. We just tested it, and we're having a strange problem. After deploying the code, when we press "Enable," the status bar changes to "Watchdog not fed" for one second then changes back to tele-operated enabled. We've also noticed that the digital sidecar's 5V light goes out when this happens. I can only think that is a side affect of the watchdog. We also get regular "Watchdog failure system xxxx user xxxx" in the diagnostics. I feed the watchdog in my tele-operated vi, and even tried putting it in the < than 10 milliseconds timed tasks. Still one flash of watchdog not fed. Any ideas on what could be the problem?

Thanks in Advance! -2779
