Where can we learn more about the FMS? (that is the name for the central control?)
The FMS won't disable you whenever your User Watchdog goes off. It doesn't even know when it happens, nor care. That's a "user issue" to it.

What FMS responds to is that Stop button. On the real field the E-stop button is quite a bit more robust and hitting that WILL disable your robot for the remainder of a match.
