Does the line "GetWatchdog().SetExpiration(0.1);" in the initializers do anything? Can I delete this?

That sets the expiration time of the watchdog timer. That means that it must be fed within 0.1 second (100 milliseconds) before it times out and the motors stop with the "Watchdog not fed" error message.

If there are any Wait() calls in your loop that are greater than 100ms, the the watchtog will also time out.
