If there is a button on a joystick that is pressed to turn on a motor setting, you're saying it's best to place this in periodic tasks? Rather than place the motor set output in telop?

Should we only put robot drive code or joystick to robot drive in teleop and let's say all other components in period tasks?

thanks.

*I have not actually seen the 2012 framework and I am going off of my programming work in 2011*

What I would do is put the motor setting in periodic and the control for it in teleop. you connect the two with a global variable. (teleop writes to it, periodic reads it)

Likewise, you write to the global variable in autonomous as well.

Hope that helps.
