Re: Best Way(s) to Implement a Delay in Command Groups
Our team uses States to determine what to do. Drive has a State Machine that is independent of the Shooter. Delays are implemented using timers. Set a timer, and check the time each loop.

Note: Having everything doing "nothing" requires a little thought. Do you disable the compressor so it does not run too? If you are moving, do you stop moving (and if so, how? Drop power abruptly, or gradually)? etc.
