The Timer.delays are something I've been combating for years now. I really believe the tutorials that utilize it do a disservice in the long term.

Yes, I can acknowledge that it helps teams get up and running quickly, but teaches bad practices, and has the potential to create really confusing scenarios when you start utilizing command based programming.

Here's a post I wrote on it last year...

I realize that it's late in the season to change how you handle this, but in future seasons please reconsider using Timer.delay for anything other than giving the brain a break.
