Deploying code in debug vs run as startup

The reason there is such a difference is actually a bug in LabVIEW RT. Here is a work around. When your robot is in "Run as startup" mode (like right after a match) try this:
1. Close Robot Main.vi (but not the project).
2. In the project, right-click on RT CompactRIO Target and choose Connect.
3. Click OK at the Conflict Resolution dialog.
4. Once connected, reopen and run Robot Main.vi.
