Re: sleep()

I dont think you want to use any of the sleep modes - there is code that has to run for the RC to function correctly - the code runs in one continious loop - if you put the uP to sleep, it will stop till an interrupt occurs - I think it would cause the RC to lock up or reset on you.

Sleep modes are normally for low power applications, like PDAs or cell phone - your bot will be drawing 50 to 100 amps during a match, so whats 0.1 Amps more or less going to accomplish?
