I’m trying desperately to program an autonomous program for our team. It’s not working so well as of yet. My first question is. . . where is Watchdog Delay and Feed? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find it.
My next question is more of a request. If anyone could give me examples (pictures would be GREATLY appreciated) of a basic autonomous program that would simply allow us to randomly dodge that I could modify to work for our robot, that would be excellent.
Thanks to anyone who helps.

If you are ever looking for a VI or function and know part of its name, you can right click on the diagram for the function palette and select the magnifying glass to search by name for a function or VI.
Also, you might search for other autonomous examples. Here’s one thread (I can’t vouch for its ability however)

If you want to randomize things, you probably will want to make use of the Random Number [0-1] function found in the numeric palette (it looks like a pair of dice). For instance, if you wanted to randomize a left turn or a right turn, you could generate a random number with the dice and turn right if the number is above 0.5 and left if below.
