Maybe it's just me, but I tend to prefer state machines for this kind of thing - we have many in our code....

The student that did it went off of the demo autonomous code. It's in multiple while loops because of the safety configuration for the drive motors. If a value is not fed within 100ms, the motors will cut off. Since we're driving the motors for longer than 100ms in each pass, the motors would error out and cease to work. It's easier to see sequentially like the way it's done. State machines are often hard to follow in LabVIEW since they will most likely involve a case structure, which will hide code from you.
He could have just disabled the safety config on it, but in the long run, it doesn't matter either way.
