We finally deployed code yesterday for the first time in 2010!

It was an epic. We tried to reimage the cRIO from our programming laptop and it would fail every time. Sometimes the Imaging app couldn't locate a cRIO, other times it would error out during formatting, sometimes it would error out later in the imaging process. For laughs we booted up our 2009 laptop and loaded the 2009 v7 image, and that worked! Then went back to the 2010 laptop and started the DriverStation, it said there was robot code. Strange stuff. Tried to Image to 2010 v19, same errors as before. Hmmm.

We loaded all the 2010 code onto the Classmate and tried to Image from that. It looked promising but stopped short again. Then we set the cRIO to Safe mode and reformatted, then went out of Safe mode and the Image finally loaded. Then we ran Windriver on the Classmate and the code Downloaded and the robot at last can be power cycled and run the code.

The other laptop with 2010 code still can't Download robot code, so that will have to have all it's 2010 code uninstalled and reinstalled. What a mess, but at least we can compete now.
