Re: Spontaneous motor skipping?

Some instructions on how to get into the bios and change these
settings would be appreciated. Intermittent watchdog errors
are driving many teams nuts.

I've gone over my code several times and had the other programmers on the team - although I'm the only one who wrote the robot code, we have others who are capable but were too busy with building the rest of the robot - look over it for errors and possible resource reduction possibilities and they couldn't come up with anything either.
