I have a suspicion that control can be regained by restarting your dashboard program, but this would take a while and is not a very good option during a match.

NOT GOOD!
After Greg's post, we just decided we'd have to live with it. Tomorrow is ship day, we have no testbed.
I guess we'll have to pray for a miracle on unpack/practive day! :/
Maybe it's the cRio version? We just imaged the only version that showed up on the list of options, are there more?
EDIT: As for dumping bits of the code, we are using everything except the periodic tasks loop... Do you have any idea what part of the code it is? Maybe the camera feed is causing a delay or something?
