I'm guessing that when you first wrote the recharger, the watchdog would immediately trip and shutdown the robot... so you disabled it. Now you have unsafe robot!
Whenever you disable the watchdog because it finds an error, you are just giving yourself an extra problem and making the original error worse. I have yet to see an error where disabling the watchdog was the correct decision.

We basically disabled it because during build season, when we leave the robot on for a while it would show that the watchdog is not being fed. At that time we did not have this problem
