Re: [FTC]: 35's Drive problem
 

We did some tests on the Bluetooth speed. We updated the joysticks and then just displayed the value on the screen of the NXT.

The speed DRASTICALLY increased when we switched to a faster laptop (Core-2 Duo chip, more memory, etc - the slower one wasn't slow, it was just slower). The faster laptop also had built-in bluetooth (vs. a USB port dongle), but it went from 0.5 sec+ delay to almost not noticeable... That kinda indicated that some of the problem might not be in the NXT, but in the computer connected to it.

Hopefully the field management system at the competitions will have a reasonable speed!

BTW we're using RobotC - YMMV in NXT-G and LabView.
