However, now that I have a good idea of what my autonomous is going to be should I switch back to SampleRobot? I would like to keep the loops so I am guessing I need to switch, let me know what you think. Also thanks for the setDistanceperPulse tuning I will do that on Monday to get it nice and tuned.  |
As for which template to use (Sample or Iterative), that is up to you. The SampleRobot template gets complicated quickly if you add any complexity to your code. If you like the loops, then you will need to use SampleRobot.
If the code above makes sense, though, I would encourage you to explore the IterativeRobot template. The teleop code works in a similar fashion: teleopInit() gets called once when teleop is enabled and teleopPeriodic() gets called every 20 ms for you (so avoid loops that don't exit quickly and do not use Timer.delay() to pause your code). Also, the 20 ms is just a great approximation...the loop timing is reallllly close to every 20 ms (certainly close enough for what we're doing).
If you do switch back to SampleRobot, then you will need the loops and the calls to Timer.delay().
Keep plugging away at it and keep asking questions. ChiefDelphi is full of people that want to help
