Billbo911: We don't have a camera hooked up, and just about all of our code is in periodic tasks. Even when we moved the code to read the encoders to periodic tasks (10 ms delay), we still get the same lag. The potentiometers that we're also reading are updating rapidly. The code to read those were always in the same spot as the code to read the encoders.
