The watchdog likes to fed with a WatchdogDevRef

You need to invoke the Feed VI periodically to tell the cRIO that it is still communicating with the Driver Station.  By default, if the watchdog isn't fed every half second, the cRIO will disable the motors, relays, solenoids, etc. as a safety measure.  The default project handles the watchdog for you.

I think we use to wack the watchdog, we're must kinder now
