Hey everyone, i was recently attempting to program my joystick button in my tank drive code, and when i un-bundled the buttons to access a specific one and put it on a loop to activate if pressed. and when i went to test it, the driving code did not function at all. I don't understand how the drive code is faulty, if what i did was add a parallel operation. If anyone has any insight as to why this is happening, please share.

PS. ill add a picture of the code when time allows, so that you can see what is wrong if you don't get it from my explanation.

Teleop is already in a loop. If you added another loop inside teleop, you're now blocking other things in teleop from running. If you want a parallel loop, put your loop in periodic tasks. However, you can probably just remove the loop you added (but keep the solenoid code).
