Autonomous/Teleop/Robot Main call errors

[beth_hadley]

We are curious (and nervous) about Labview code working properly at competitions. We observed several teams during Weak 1 competitions having issues with getting their Labview code to function correctly during matches. Several robots would start for a half second or so in autonomous, then stop for no apparent reason. Sometimes it would appear that connections had been lost, and other times the cRIO would reboot. Our team experienced a similar error while testing at home (we haven’t yet competed). We observed that this problematic autonomous behavior only occurs the first time autonomous is called. When we called autonomous subsequent times (by clicking the Autonomous button on the driver station), the autonomous operated fine.

We think the issue may have something to do with Robot Main (we haven’t altered the framework), although we welcome your suggestions. If your team experienced/is experiencing similar issues, please describe the situations that lead to the issue, and any fix you have found.

Thanks! Your help is appreciated.
