Re: Controlling Motors in Auto

A few clarifications:
Single motors do not have safety enabled by default. You can turn it on, and if you do, you will need to update the value by the deadline or the safety timer will zero them and print a message. Robot Drive does have safety on by default, though you can disable it if you are careful how you debug. RobotDrive has a Delay block that internally loops and feeds, and you do not need to disable or use traditional wait function.

As mentioned, you should consider using other sensors and not just time for your auto, though many robots have a reasonably good auto with just time.
