Re: What did we learn - FIRST Scrimmages?

While I posted this issue in another thread, I will state it here as well... If you are experiencing any watchdog timer issues, no matter how infrequent, you must correct this issue before competition. The field control system shut down our communication with the robot in multiple rounds due to watchdog errors. You are not able to regain communcation for the rest of the round. The good news is we were able to resolve our watchdog errors by removing all, but our basic code (ie. removed camera, gyro, and other code, leaving only our joystick/drive and kicker motor controls in the Teleop.vi) and were able to get a few complete rounds in without errors. We are using LabView.
