Drive Delay

Howdy,
We are experiencing a noticeable delay when the drive motors are engaged. There is a noticeable delay between changing the joystick and the response on the motors. For example, push forward on the drive joystick and a second later the motors drive forward; release the joystick and a second later the motors slow and stop.

We are using LabView and the standard 4-motor with CAN drive vi.

I can make several guesses why this might be happening, but I wanted to ask others to see if they were experiencing a similar issue.


Thanks for the help,
...Duane
