Re: waits

True enough.
What Alan means is, your structure would work the way you intend for individual motors, but drive motors (Open2Motor, Open4Motor) have an automatically applied Safety that will shut down the motors if you don't keep rapidly telling them what to do.

To make your structure work the way you intend it would need an extra vi call.
And at the end you would re-enable the Safety, before Teleop began, as well as set your motors to neutral.
