There is no E-Stop on the real DS either unless you're connected to the field control system (unless I'm mistaken?).

Watchdog: I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for here. It's already set up such that if it misses more than 5 packets from the robot (approximately 100ms), it disables the robot and takes it out of autonomous mode.

E-stop: Didn't see this in any of your posts. Only saw a 2 key enable.

Watchdog: If the program hangs (not responding), how does it send the disable/teleop bits?
