Watchdog!?!?!?!

We had the same problem after getting our replacement drivers station in KC. The robot was working one second then no the next. Our head programmer was able to fix it, eventually, however - Its seemed like as soon as we realized this was an issue it wasnt the worst thing to fix it was just stunk that it had to flip out before we realized. Even though it counted against us still, the FIRSt ppl were helpful in explaining the problem

Now that we have learned that we probably need a timer delay, the question has been raised as to "what is a reasonable delay?"
For our robot during autonomous mode the only thing that might be time critical is the reading of the gyro to test if we have turned the number of degrees that we want.

It would seem that we don't want to tie up the CPU any more than necessary.

In the past, all examples I have seen suggested something on the order of 5-10 milliseconds.
