thought id just clarify this....
robot reset does not initialize the vars unless the vars are initialized in the code. all previous vars stored in ram are still there until the ram is cleared.

whatever program was downloaded to the robot is the code that it has stored in eeprom. the eeprom is not changed unless u either write something to eeprom in the code or you download new code to the robot controller.

also my team has found that you can get basic run errors from most anything. if you get a basic run error here are some steps to try to clear it:
1. regular old robot reset from the operator interface (usually works)
2. reset robot from the robot controller (basically same as controller but sometimes works when oi doesnt
3. turn off robot for about 15 seconds or so then turn back on (this will clear the ram in the robot controller)
4. check through your code to see if there is something wrong. if you cant find anything wrong try an older code and see if that works. if it works then there is definitely something wrong with ur new code.
5. redownload the code to the robot controller (if its fine then maybe there was an error with the download)
