Re: Watchdog Not Fed!
We had a similar problem. Discovered that the accelerometer was plugged into to the duplicate I2C _OUT_ ports. The accelerator initialization in the robot constructor was simply hanging, so our robot class never made it out of its constructor. So, as soon as the robot was enabled, the watchdog went hungry because our code hadn't started feeding it yet.

I guess the lesson from that is: make sure your code is getting to where you think it is, and check everything.
