Re: Delay Problem

Good point on moving the code that sets the motor powers inside the execute() method to avoid the time out issue if you run with the motor safety feature enabled.

Our team has gotten to the point that the watch dog timers seem to be more burdensome than beneficial. We have gotten in the (bad) habit of turning off the motor safety feature. This means we don't have to worry about the time out issue and can leave the code as shown in the example. **However** Some of our new programmers had a run away robot situation the other day - so maybe we should think about enabling it again.
