Re: Autonomous runs during Teleop

I think at this point it boils down to, should it exit? yes
will labview make it exit? it should, it works in other cases so again yes
did it exit? no.

I have seen in at least 2 maybe 3 different teams where autonomous did not exit because of a logic error in a loop for example on 3114 it was set up so that a loop in the autonomous would only exit if the watchdog was still alive, if it wasn't then they just sat there the entire time doing nothing


my advice, (which if you have $5 might get you a cheap cup of coffee), is to test the heck out of it, if you are trying to kick 3 balls test what happens if you only kick 2 and then try to switch. if it doesn't try adding code for timing on it, if nothing else it is a failsafe so if something does go wrong you are not dead in the water.
