Re: autonomous problem

Depends on how Kicker handles the Watchdog too.
If the Watchdog isn't fed inside Kicker (and Kicker takes more than half a second) then you'd see that error, but it seems like you should get 75 seconds of drive time before it threw the Watchdog error if Kicker was a problem.

Are you just turning on Autonomous at the Driver Station and staying in it the whole time?
The Watchdog error happens immediately after Enabling?

The Feed and the first Delay & Feed you don't need, but they shouldn't hurt either.

P.S.
You'd probably see "Watchdog Not Fed" flash on the screen for a second when you started Autonomous, but then it should immediately change to "Autonomous Enabled"

P.P.S.
FYI, a Watchdog error does not stop your code from continuing to run. It only cuts off any output commands it gives. So if Kicker isn't blocked by waiting for an event that may never happen, then it'll eventually return to your Autonomous Independent.vi, the Watchdog will get fed again, your outputs will get re-enabled, and your robot will suddenly take off again...
