Re: Watchdog not fed

you don't have to kill the robot to solve the watchdog not fed error, just feed it (or give it a larger Expiration)

my interpretation of the watchdog analogy:
there are two Watchdogs, System and user. The user watchdog is a poodle that you can kill at will. you also have a poodle re-animation device. On usercode load, you create a new poodle, and you can set its fatness (time to starve) via the SetExpiration. You must feed the poodle within this period, or it dies, falls down, and shorts the motors, so you cannot move until you re-animate it and it gets off the shorted circuts. so you feed it, and re-animate it, and you can continue
