Every robot needs a locky-thingy. A robot without one might fire when it isn't supposed to, and hit the wrong target; e.g., a referee, FTA, or robot inspector.

Wouldn't want that. Better put in the locky-thingy.

When I first read the title, I thought it said 'deceptive object name' at which point it could be named "THE_unlock".

The locky-thing on our robot is called the trigger.

But since in this picture, the project is called DrawingPad, I'm assuming this isn't for an FRC bot.

It's actually a mutex, so it is supposed to lock data during reads and rights. Without properly using it, the software would crash spectacularly as the server is 100% threaded! Memory does not like to be read and written to at the same time, at the same location.

Memory does not like to be read and written to at the same time, at the same location.Use different memory: Instead of ROM (Read-Only Memory), use WOM (Write-Only memory (repeater-builder.com/molotora/gontor/25120-bw.pdf)). That will solve the problem completely.
