In your code, you have

while(true)// i also tried while(1 == 1)
{
	motor[elbow] = -63;
	wait1Msec(1500);
}

so you're on the right track. Both while(true) and while(1 == 1) will work (because 1 == 1 evaluates to true so it's just a more indirect way of writing the same thing).

However, the block of code inside the while(true) loop is the only thing that will run forever. So at the moment, your elbow motor will run forever, but not the rest of the code.

You should change your code so that the while(true) { ... } surrounds the entirety of the code that you want to run forever.
