Smartibot - function reset() - should it restore josytick control from APP

I could be wrong here, but I think that when the app connects it runs some magic command on the Smartibot (it may just end up being smarti = require("Smartibot"); or something like that).

You'd have to ask Smartibot what the actual command is (or maybe disconnect the app, open the web IDE, and try using up-arrow to look back in the command history).

Either way if you ran reset() it'd blow away the result of running that command, which may be why the dpad no longer works?

I guess looking at what you're doing, just calling stopWallAvoid() and not reset() might be enough? Although possibly calling load() to run your code might have removed the code the app uploaded too...
