It sounds like the code that recharges your kicker is "blocking" - that is, it takes control and doesn't let other code execute while it is busy. You need to rewrite your kicker recharger so that it doesn't do this.
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.
FIRST is the best thing that has ever happened to me...FIRST has taught me so much more than anything I learned in the classroom. The thing with my team, is we are so close, we are family, and I have figured out so much about who I am because of FIRST. - princessnatalie [more]
