I'm the real starter of this thread. I wasn't registered for the forums, so one of my students allowed me to use his login just to get started.

I've reluctantly taken on the role of programmer ... my experience has been in FORTRAN and I'm not used to being limited in the number of variables that can be declared.

I need at least 4 variables in order to control the robot in autonomous mode. That part is working fine. Now I want to add to the program in order to make the switch from autonomous mode to competition mode and I need to add more variables to the list.

so, my thoughts....please be patient, I didn't look seriously at PBasic until last Monday.

1) Are there any variables that are not used in autonomous mode that could be declared later when competition mode begins?
2) I need to use delta-t and the program doesn't recognize it unless I put it in the list, even though it is in the list of constants.
