From the documentation for DatagramSocket.receive():

This method blocks until a datagram is received.

This means it will wait for information from the beaglebone before continuing with your user program. This waiting causes the motors to not be updated fast enough. I see two options to solve this:

• NetworkTables
• Put your networking code in a seperate thread.

We have a NetworkTables build for the beaglebone on the WPILib maven server (armhf):
