So, we've been playing with Easy C for Cortex a little. The one thing I really liked was not having to turn the Cortex on and off after downloading the program. With the Vexnet as part of the Cortex, it is a real pain to turn on and off because you have to wait for the Vexnet to sync up again.

So is there anyway to reset the Cortex using Robot C other that to turn it off and on???

Yes, there is. Any time you download a program in ROBOTC, the "Program Debug" window opens up. You can press the Start button on the Program Debug window to start the program. Once the program starts running, the same button turns into a Stop button, to allow you to control when your robot stops. You can use the button over and over, without power cycling.
