Re: Still having some watchdog issues

Greg,
Quote:
If you are still having issues with watchdogs, please unplug the I/O module and determine what effect this has.
You are referring to the circuit-board like thing that is plugged into the classmate with a usb cable, correct? Our team decided not to use it at all.

I do not believe that a watchdog occurrence will cause a robot to be disabled for remainder of a match. The FMS really doesn't even know whether the robot is watchdogged or not. Can anyone confirm this? Were there other circumstances such as an FTA disabling the robots?
Could you possibly find out for 100% sure? My team certainly can't afford to be caught off-guard by this, it would take us out of the competition and waste all of our hard work.
Where can we learn more about the FMS? (that is the name for the central control?)
