or do I

   protected void execute() {
      while(true){
         myCounter = myCounter + 10;
      
         wait(1000);
      }
    }

here since the first called execute is not done will sequential calls be skipped?

here what happens the 49 times this execute is called when the wait is not done?

This will actually cause your entire robot to lock up for 1 second. A general rule of thumb when using the Command Based structure is to never use a wait().

Instead use a Date field to store the time and increment your count when the time has exceeded a second.
